3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200

[Max Wellhouse]

Never read anything I type in a hurry!!!  Meant to say 50 cc's not 
500.  Spelling errors too numerous to count!!  The 3000# is correct 
however.  Gets 90% of it's bonding strength in about an hour, but 
sets up in about 5 minutes give or take with ambient air temp.

The The expensive version of this stuff is made by a company called 
Plexus, but their stuff is gray and I'd bet it's what they bond those 
centerline highway reflectors on the road.

Maybe too much information?
