Mine was done with epoxy. It's easier to break loose, if necessary, than 5200. The joint was finished with a layer of fiberglass cloth. No leaks, and you can't even see the joint.
Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR ----- Original Message ----- Congrats Dave. Looks like everything worked out well. I find it strange that anyone would use epoxy to seal the keel joint. When mine was replaced the yard used 3M 5200…lots of it. They probably used two or three large tubes of it. The boat sat for a day or two before they finally torqued the keel bolts down.

We got it off along with the keel today and the boat is in the shed for painting. Details in the blog for those interested.
