Default 5200 - How strong on fiberglass

"Jere Lull" wrote

5200 is too strong for that. You'll have to cut it out when you want
to
replace the knotlog. I'd suggest 4200, which is plenty strong. Prep
of
the fiberglass is key. Nothing will stick to an oily or otherwise
slick
surface


Quite right. It is only the block itself that I'm putting in with the
5200. The through hull will be set in something else which is similar
to 4200 but I've forgotten the name. I do want to be able to get that
out someday!

You might find the clamping arrangement interesting. I'm going to
leave it in place until the last possible moment so the 5200 if fully
cured. I scraped to bare glass and washed with acetone. If anyone
ever wants to change this installation, good luck.
