3MTM Marine Adhesive/Sealant 5200 is a one-part polyurethane that chemically reacts with moisture to deliver strong, flexible bonds. It has excellent adhesion to wood, gelcoat and fiberglass. It forms a watertight, weather-resistant seal on joints and boat hardware, above and below the waterline.
What is the difference between 3M 4200 and 5200?
3M’s Fast Cure 4200 has half the strength of 5200, which (with some effort) allows for disassembly of parts. A bond created with 3M 5200 may last forever, so you are in a pickle if you later decide to separate the two surfaces.
How long does 5200 take to set?
3M™ Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 Fast Cure is a one-component, high-strength, moisture-curing, gap-filling polyurethane for permanent bonding of aluminum, wood, gelcoat and fiberglass. This fast cure version of 5200 is formulated to typically cure within 48 hours.
What is 3M 5200 equivalent?
3M 4200 Fast Cure Similar to 5200, 3Ms 4200 is not as strong but it cures faster. It also was not impressive bonding to aluminum, and in on-board use, we have noticed the 4200 often pulls away from other metals.

Is 5200 waterproof?
Not for consumer sale or use. 3M™ Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 is a one-component, high-strength, moisture-curing, gap-filling polyurethane for permanent bonding of wood, gelcoat and fiberglass. It cures to form a firm, rubbery, waterproof seal on joints and boat hardware, above and below the waterline.
Will 5200 Dry underwater?
Along with outstanding adhesion, 3M Fast Cure 5200 remains flexible after it cures and it can be used above or below the waterline. Ideal for underwater thru-hull fittings, hull-to-deck joints, portholes and bonding wood to fiberglass.
What can I use instead of 5200?
3M 4200 Fast Cure Similar to 5200, 3Ms 4200 is not as strong but it cures faster.
Does 3M 5200 bond to aluminum?
No matter how strong the joint, if it is continually being put under stress every time the aluminium gets hot or cold, then the joint will fail. If it’s not in the sun you may get away with it, but 3M 5200 is the way to go.
Can you remove 5200?
This product does exactly what it says, and beats all other products at removing 5200. Spray it on any cured polyurethane or polysulfide sealants, and minutes later it can be easily removed.
Can you use 3M 5200 on metal?
– When using 3M Marine Adhesive/Sealant Fast Cure 5200 with metals, it may be necessary to prime the surface to achieve adequate adhesion and durability of the bond. 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Structural Adhesive Primer EC-1945 B/A may be used for priming of most metals.
Can I paint over 5200?
3M 5200 Marine Adhesive Sealant is sandable and paintable after it is fully cured. The problem with painting a flexible sealant like this is that, if the paint is not as flexible as the sealant, the paint will crack.
