This was purchased to seal cracks in the white fiberglass hull of a boat. The idea was to seal the cracks and hide the damage at the same time without having to sand, epoxy, fiberglass and gel-coat.

It worked perfectly.

The color is surprisingly white and matched the existing gel-coat well.

The Fast Cure 5200 did indeed cure quickly. The boat was ready to roll (a pun since the boat is a kayak) within a short time and the leaks were stopped.

Since the material is flexible, hull motions did not open the cracks as they might have if a caulk was used.

Precautions to keep the sealant off of skin are recommended.

Rumor is that it will cure in the tube if it is exposed to the air. Since the tube has not been opened since the first use this cannot be confirmed. Nevertheless, don't plan on using a tube more than once.

This stuff is strong, flexible and great for many applications. I prefer JB Weld when flexibility isn't needed.
Great for sealing PVC, drainage seams, and HHO applications.
Make sure to get the 'Fast Cure' as the other takes quite a while to set.

I ordered Fast Cure and got the normal 5200 adhesive sealant, the fast cure dries in 24 hours and the one i got in 48 hours, dissapointed eventhough the reciepts says fast cure.....
