3M 5200

I was told that 3M 5200 will no longer be accepted in California as of 2025. Do you know all this to be true? CA is not the best for decisions... but this is crazy with all the boating community here. I cannot confirm this, so if someone knows this to be true... it would be great to know.

In my opinion, 5200 has no place on a boat. Generally, I've seen it used by yards, builders, and owners, as a cover for a lack of expertise in boat building.

I use it when I need a secure never remove solution. It can be removed, but for certain where a longer than permanent adhesive is wanted. 4200 on everything else... but still not sure why it is not coming to CA. It's bonding is good in some situations.
