Bradz 18 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hi All, we will be replacing our sail drive diaphragms in a few weeks. The question i cant seam to find any great information on is what product to use in gluing the new fairing boot with. I understand the preparation to the hull and the rubber boot itself, however would like to know what adhesive products other have used. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScarecrowR31 8 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I used a 2 pot product from the guy who makes dry suits in Wellsford. Its stuck on like the proverbial with no lifting on the front lip 2 years later. Maybe give him a call? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vivaldi 53 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Would the 5200 be the best for hatch sealing as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 5200 is otherwise known as "the devils glue" Its a bitch to remove, and will pull off a laminate before letting go quite often. I's use 4200 or similar for something I might want to take off. On the saildrive fairing boot, you can remove the 5200 with a multitool and the scraper blade, as access is easy. You'd likely have to cut a hatch out.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
