I had some 5200 left in a tube from a previous job so I decided to use it to coat the exposed wood on a small hole I cut in a bulkhead. A week later and its still very tacky to the touch, Ive had a heat lamp on it for a few days now. I thought about lining it with a thin strip of rubber tire tube, would the rubber bond to the 5200?

Next hole seal with epoxy.

Brownie wrote a few years back that they had a problem with curing and the rep told them to wet it down and that would kick it.

5200 is great stuff if your not in a hurry and you never wanna take whatever you put together apart again.
