Author	Topic:   1991 SUPER SPORT 13 Restoration: Replacing Wood with 3M4200 Adhesive
huntpayne	posted 05-18-2015 10:12 AM ET (US)         I removed, repaired, and refinished all wood from a [1991 Boston Whaler SUPER SPORT 13]. The wood had been previously bedded with some sort of compound, adhesive, sealant, or something. Is replacing the wood with some sealant such as 3M4200 (or other) a good thing? If so, what should I use? Thanks.

Personally I stay away from 3M unless you need to glue something; then the 5200 and 4200 are great. But for bedding an item to a boat use the [Sika brand (Sikaflex tubes), Dolphinite, or Interlux Boatyard in a can].
