There are times though when nothing other than 5200 will do. My wife had a
car that had a wide, rubber band on the front bumper held on by whatever
adhesive General Motors used at the time. It kept popping off despite
several attempts by the dealer to reattach it. Finally, I remembered that I
had some 5200 and smeared some onto the back side of the rubber band, then
taped it in place against the bumper until it cured. It never moved again.

I didn't say it should NEVER be used. I just said that people use it in a lot of
applications where it is the wrong thing, exactly because it is so tenacious.
There are very few uses for it on a boat.

Tenacity can be a good thing.

Yes, it can. Not always, though. Part of doing a job well is selecting
the right tool for the job. A sledgehammer, properly applied will
certainly cure a headache.

In this case it is probably the perfect tool for harrys job but I can
understand your backpedal here. Don't worry, I am done with you, point
proved.

Look, dimwit. I started out saying 5200 was appropriate for very few
jobs, and that's the postion I have maintained all through the thread.
So, where's the backpedal?

When you have a few minutes to spare, please stick a rope up your
ass... and then climb it.

You started off saying and I quote:
"5200 is a bad suggestion. There are very few if any proper uses for
it on a
boat.
It's been more than a while. 5200 is the wrong tool for almost any job
you can
name on a boat other than rebedding a keel. Even that is open to
intelligent
discussion. Do you arc weld your key in the ignition to make sure it
won't fall
out? Brush your teeth with battery acid to make sure no food particles
remain?"
Now that more that one other boater has suggested several great uses
for it on a boat and you, still have not come up with a better
solution for the origional poster you are just getting crude. No more
from you now, please.
