Probably not as good as the two-part adhesive 3M makes as "Scotch Weld" # 3532 B/A. It has a reliable overnight cure time, unlike 5200, and is bomber strong. Available from NRS mail order. Too expensive for massive glue jobs, but probably the right stuff for a failed ferrule. Thanks to Dan Hagen for putting me onto this stuff. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
