Alan,
The yard that did my R&R used 5200 and then glassed over the seam. I doubt my
keel will ever separate from the hull.

Despite Chuck's expertise, I don't recommend using 5200, or even doing the
repair as he suggests. I did a R&R of my keel, several years ago, and never
had my problem return. My problem? When the boat was hauled, the keel was
loose, so loose that I could move it. Upon removing the keel, we discovered a
void around the forward keel bolt. When we flushed each keel bolt hole, a foul
smell emanated from the forward keel bolt hole. AThe yard ground the top of
the keel and athe bottom of the stub, epoxied the keel back 0onto the stub, and
filled the void with about a gallon of epoxy. After tightening the keel bolts,
they covered the smile with fiberglass cloth and epoxy. The smile never
returned, and no leaks after many years.
Whenever you use 5200, it's almost impossible to remove the parts that were
assembled with it.
