That is some good shit.. We sealed AnnaEleise keel with it. It sticks almost as good as a submerged quality Stainless Steel nut and bolt. Normally we use 4200 as it will release when you need it too. Got to get a part loose when its been sealed with 5200, Answer, buy a new boat, cause that part ain’t a gonna come loose.

(Some of it fell on the concrete when we were working on Anna, as far as I know, it’s till there.). Now ask me about West Brother’s epoxy. If you want something to stay, use West Brother’s, cause once it’s stuck it’s gonna stay STUCK!

Messing about in boats teaches a fellow, what works and what isn’t worth the ink used in the packaging.

AnnaEleise on launch day last September, (after multi thousands of dollars restoring her after Hurricane Laura did its best to destroy her.).

You can see that 700 pound chunk of lead, hull keel joint sealed with 5200.
 
Taking a tour of a stately British gun store and range.

EJ Churchill's in High Wycombe, UK, is a stately "gentlemen's shooting club" which caters to the Edwardian and late Edwardian upper middle class masculine culture in England. UK gun culture deviated greatly from America's beginning in the late 1700s. For one thing, sustenance hunting and rugged survival in the UK had never been a thing even during the Middle Ages due to the manorial system that saw the entire island from Sussex to Scotland carved up and in the possession of numerous local lords and barons who own vast estates including tracts of untamed wilderness that were constantly patrolled by the lords' household game wardens with stiff penalties for those caught poaching. However, game bird and fox hunting is a highly esteemed sport on the island boasting thousands of participants to the present day. From the late 19th century onward, target rifle and sporting clays also took off and remained the top and primary shooting disciplines among UK gun owners today. Thus, in a British gun shop, you will see A LOT of shotguns and slug guns. In EJ Churchill's specimens of the finest game shotguns and some hunting rifles, including big bore elephant guns made by manufacturers from all over the world are bought and sold and you can easily imagine a wholesome atmosphere of people talking about outdoor sports and traditional British culture over tea and biscuits while perusing the guns displayed in the store's ornate main room... An oasis from the craziness and downhill chaos that is overwhelming the rest of the UK, particularly it's cities.

It ain’t Scheels for sure.
 
The husband leans over and asks his wife, "Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you."
Yes, she says, "I remember it well."
OK, he says, "How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?"
"Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but good idea!"
A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself, he thinks to himself, I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble. So he follows them.
The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in...
Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming.
Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.
The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.
After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on.
The policeman is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing, I've got to ask them what their secret is.
So, as the couple passes, he says to them, "Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?"
Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply,
"Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence."
