Had a gas dock try to remove my rub rail for me last season in some choppy conditions, and in preparing for Spring, removed the rub rail rivets in that area, and assessed the situation. (Water was leaking in on hard turns to that side.) Main problem seems to be that the hull/cap joint seal (this is a little FG bowrider) in that area was opened up. My plan is to 5200 the hull/cap joint section that is separated at the overlap, then put a bead of 4200 on the back side of the rub rail and re-rivet it into place. This will result in the 5200 (advertised 5-7 day cure time) sealed in under the 4200-sealed rub rail. (The 5200 joint will still have exposure to air on the inside of the boat, FWIW.) Can I do this all in one operation, or can I at least do the 5200, wait a day or two, then do the 4200, and expect the 5200 to cure adequately, or should I let the 5200 cure completely, then re-attach/seal the rub rail?
Thanks!
Thanks!
