This can be used in many applications where a strong but semi- flexible bond is needed. Best used where a slow set-up time is needed.

Comments about 3m Products 5200 Polyurethane Adhesive/Sealant:
this is the best caulk. do not use the "5200 quick cure" ... it will yellow and come off after time, and it will crack under paint. The original 5200 is the best!

Comments about 3m Products 5200 Polyurethane Adhesive/Sealant:
Over the years I have used several brands of marine sealents and bonding agents. This product hands down is the most reliable and all around useful product I have ever used. I found a great way to get the full use out of a large tube of 5200. Simply take it out of the caulking gun after its original use. Wrap kitchen use plastic wrap around the tip and stick it in the freezer. Its as simple as that. I have had one tube last up to 3 days after multiple uses.
