[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 296992, member: 7544"] Boat is looking good. I read what you said about the 5200 not lasting 48 hours and just wanted to say you must not have gotten it sealed right when you put it away. I've got some that I opened last spring and only used about half of and the tube is just as soft right now as the day I bought it. A trick I like to use on tubes like that is to only cut a little off the plastic applicator tip so the hole is small. When I get done, I get a smooth shank nail that has a larger diameter than the hole. Then I squeeze the tube until all the air is out and glue starts coming out. Then force the nail in the tip. As long as there is no air in the tube when you seal it up and your seal is tight, it should keep. [/QUOTE]
