Stus-List Re: 3M 5200 and sealants

I never considered gluing blocks with 5200. I always used epoxy to glue them in place and then encapsulate to protect from water. I also thought 5200 was the goto for all through fittings below the waterline, no? Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Wed, Oct 21, 2020, 19:57 De

No, use of 5200 should require a license! Lifecaulk of something similar, if anything. Not that I'd recommend going that route at all. Andy Andrew Burton 26 Beacon Hill Newport, RI USA02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ +401 965-5260 > On Oct 21, 2020, at 19:05,

Stus-List 3M 5200 and sealants

As others have said, 3M 5200 is an adhesive, not a sealant. Virtually the ONLY place I use 3M 5200 is to PERMANENTLY GLUE teak blocks to the inside of the hull or a bulkhead so that I can screw a fastener into it. Refer to this chart for suggested sealant usages. https://drive.google.com/file/d/

5200 is more of a permanent fix better for deck seals. On Wed, Oct 21, 2020, 7:06 PM Peter McMinn wrote: > I have 3m 5200 but don’t think that’s the stuff. Or is it? > > On Wed, Oct 21, 2020 at 3:57 PM Andrew Burton > wrote: > >> I would never use actual silicone sealant. Once you do, nothi

Stus-List Re: leaky head intake

No, that’s adhesive, not sealant. I think heating it and re-clamping would probably seal it, if it is the hose. If you can shut off the thru hull, and it sounds like you can, you can remove the hose, and then remove the barbed adapter and see what is wrong. Either re-seat it, or get a new one.

Peter, No it’s not. I wouldn’t use 5200 for any reason. It’s pretty much permanent. You are better to fix it right than bandaid it anyway. Carefully find out what is actually leaking and you will have the solution. If it’s the barb fitting or hose just replace one or both and double ss clamp it.

Ha! Yes, I'm talking about the intake for the head (toilet). Great suggestions here. In the interest of not turning a tiny leak into a gushing one (or an inoperative toilet), I think I'll try the least disruptive first: 1. rescue tape 2. removing/trimming the hose and applying silicone & replacing

Try warming the hose at the nipple with a heat gun and then tighten the clamp. Have a plug ready whatever you do just in case On Wed, Oct 21, 2020 at 11:53 AM Peter McMinn wrote: > Hello C&Crs. My wife & I are the excited new owners of Sirius, '85 C&C 37 > located for now in Poulsbo, WA. We’ll b

Hi Peter, I just recently rebuilt my Yanmar and replaced all hoses that you mentioned. I'm a little confused when you say Plastic seacock... However, if you remove that end of the hose and can cut 1 inch off and then use a silicone type of sealant that may hold you over. Also, at some point you

Yes, I came into some of these Marlon Seacocks, and didn’t realise that there was a barbed hose fitting on threads. Straight threads at that, which makes a seal a little tough. After still getting a little weeping after lots of teflon tape and Teflon Dope, I put a little chamfer on the end of t

Shut the seacock off and replace the nipple or it could let all the way loose, which would be bad. You can take a pine plug and plug the intake from under the boat too if you have any doubts about the seacock. (if you don’t have a set of plugs, this should be #1 on your shopping list) Joe Dell
