Here are a few more pics of recent repair activity! You have to use barbels, and free weights for something!
Thanks to whomever commented on how to inject 5200, and how it's important to make the nozzle the exact size as the drilled hole to avoid spilling out. Also, to not push in to hard, because you can't force it in if it's right up against the foam. The 5200 10 oz. tube is not well made. There is a lot of waste that backs up around the caulk gun plunger. I'd say 2 ounces were what I had to knife out after I was done injecting. Not sure how I'll remedy that, or if it's possible. Acetone cleans up Fast cure 5200 well, but it does eat away at the deck plastic a bit. Part of the game I guess. I used some crappy Duct Tape to contain the 5200, so when I applied weights, it wouldn't gush back out the hole. Use something else! Crappy Duct tape adheres to the Luran like crazy, and is a bitch to get off once done. Think I'll try packing tape today??? I chose 5200 for the Luran/Foam adhesive because there are so many voids, I didn't want MA to leak into them. We'll see how it goes when I start knitting back the cracks with MA.
So far, where I enjected 5200 under the deck to get rid of the bouncys, it seems fine. I think the fast cure product is right for this. I'm impatient. The bounces are not a huge priority, but when you've got a $28.00 tube of5200 that starts curing as soon as you open it, you don't want to waste it. The bounces come last, after I've used it at the priority spots. Had to order another tube, and hope to use it up today. Thanks again for your suggestions!
