PVC pipe insert into limber holes, how best to seal

[tfret]

I didn't get any response in my restoration thread so I'll try again here. I'm going to prep my stingers now for the new deck. I will use 3M 5200 to seal all the old screw holes and then coat the tops with epoxy just so they are sealed up good. I will be installing PVC pipe inserts into my new limber holes. I'm wondering how best to glue these in and make a good seal. Should I use 3M 5200 for this, or epoxy?

either....

some use epoxy...some use 52.

what ever you choose to use....just make sure that the wood is fully covered....especially the inside edges.

Thanks for the reply Oops. The 52 instructions say the whole tube will cure within 48 hours after opening even with the top screwed back on. Whatever 52 I have left from sealing stringer screw holes, I'll use to seal the limber holes and glue the pvc inserts in, with extra attention to the edge of the hole on both sides. Thanks again.
