Pyramid fenda extenda now available here in the states

[Lord Popgun]

Disclamer: I'm not saying that 5200 is the only adhesive that should be used, just that it works and IS some good stuff easily available for consumer use.

I got my fast cure at Home Depot, was around $8. A store like West Marine will charge maybe $12-14.

The quick cure will tack up within the 2 hours or so. After 24 it was most likely good to go. After 36 I'm pretty sure it was mostly done, but I don't have X-Ray vision. Since it rained, I just ended up waiting the 48 hours.

If you have never used this stuff, do not get it on your clothes. It will not come out. I wore vinyl gloves as it is nasty to get off your hands. Think acetone.

After you get the extenda bonded on, avoid touching the 5200 to see if it is curing. It will stick to your finger and pull a string out. You can wet, or lick, your finger and smooth it out around the edges if desired, but I didn't need to. You can put a dollop of it on something and test that. Thin amounts cure faster than thick amounts. And the edges will set up faster than the rest.

I would try to avoid having it ooze out of where the extenda and the fender meet on the outside of the fender. If you use white (I did) it will look bad and be hard to clean off the extenda. Do so before it cures.



I am not an expert on 5200, I just own a boat...and have used a lot of it.
