[Alberg30] Re: Bedding Shroud Tangs

Brian, if you're talking about caulking the shroud/deck seal then I would use 101, in the absence of elastomeric. If you have removed the chainplates and are re-installing them to the bulkheads, that's the type of job for 5200.

  To George and others recommending Rule Elastometric,
      I just checked the sites offered up by George and the info there in. The description of Elastometric Bedding Compound sounds very much like 5200 as far as it's tenacious bond strength is concerned. Is it similar to 5200 at least as far as this is concerned? I've generally stopped using 5200 for exactly that reason and I'm not looking forward to removing anything I've ever bedded with it. On the other hand, when bedding shroud tangs is it better to use a product that adheres and flexes like this.
     I can't find the elastometric compound around here (easily anyway) and I'm looking at the first weather window to get this done. I already own a cartridge of 5200 and one of 101. If you had to choose between the two, which one would you use?
  Regards and thanks,    Brian
