#yiv995251790 p {margin:0;}I started using Lifecaulk about 10 years ago when I
first bought our boat. Tried 4200 3 years ago when I added jam cleats and
found the adhesion much stronger. Life caulk takes days longer to cure. I was
working alone and was so careful to place the 4200 under the screw head and
under the cleat base and in the chamfered hole. The next day I went sailing
and after returning to the dock, noticed I hadn't placed nuts on the screws.
The 4200 held it tight to the deck. This camcleat had four bolts through the
deck, w no nuts. Guess the bolts took the shear force and the 4200 kept it
together enough to stay put. I added the fender washers & nuts and had my son
hold the bolt still, while I tightened the aircraft nuts from underneath. No
leaks.
After a few months I tried to squeeze caulk out of a partially used tube of
4200. I found it had cured in the nozzle but was still pliable in the tube.
I drilled the nozzle open with a 1/4" drill and found it squeezed out just
fine. Good stuff, though expensive.
