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.
