First off I used E6000 glue on the bottom of my old 1432 tin boat early this year, to seal leaking rivets and even rivets that weren't leaking (just in case). It has done well except in places where the boat drags bottom, mainly around the stern. So I tore off the glue in the affected areas (took a bit of work) and sanded it down and put on some 5200. It says at 50% humidity and 70 degrees it is tack free in 48 hours and cures in 7 days. I remember reading somewhere that 5200 needs moisture to cure and putting some damp rags on the sealant will make it cure faster. I want to get my boat in the water by next weekend. I guess at this rate it should be cured enough anyway but can I speed it up using wet rags or just let it go?
Also has anyone had issues with 5200 adhesion on aluminum? I know a lot of people use it on tinboats and swear by it but it's not labeled for use on metal. Will it wear off after a couple years? Just wondering.
