Here’s why I went Sika flex 291 , maybe not as permanent as 3m 5200, still has great strength, and $$$. 3m $49. Sikaflex $15 (Canadian $)

Big step done today , now to reinforce transomon the inside, get all the interior carpeted wood fastened and mount that dang two stroke!!!!!!

Interesting chart. If am reading it correctly, Sika blows the pants off 5200 in shear strength on aluminum. I might have to rethink use of 5200.

My dad restored the ladder steps for me, the old teak he glued sanded and re oiled. Ready for another 30+ years? I made sure the kids knew grandpa redid them for us.

Welding time!!!!!

Dave Aluminum · Jul 5, 2023

Two pcs. 1-1/2” angle welded and bolted into spot , doesn’t look like much…. We put 1200 pounds on this platform today and no creak/crack and anything (ya I could’ve done better, this is what I can do)
Plus I welded everywhere , floors, walls. Console, leaning post. Used an entire spool of wire…..
