Hi All,
I had to pull the bobstay chainplate this spring to replace the backing block that was on it's way out. I have a question regarding the preferred method to rebed the bobstay chainplate.
Butyl Tape? I'm rebedding some of the deck hardware with MS's butyl tape (great to work with
) but wasn't sure if I could use that effectively here. Since the bobstay chainplate is in and out of the water a lot, I figured butyl tape wouldn't be preferred...
West system 105/406? Seems straightforward for this work - plus the backing plate will be seated with this - plus I was going to use this anyway to match the curvature difference between the chainplate and the bow. Is something more flexible preferred for this application?
3M 4200? I do not want to mess around with 5200 for this, since I see rebedding this chainplate again in the future - but given the sealant + adhesive + flexibility + removability qualities...
Appreciate the advice anyone has to offer.
Thanks - Chris
