When you start to remove if it won't come apart then it's 3M 5200 (which is what I bet it is). If it comes apart it's 3M 4200. If it is 5200, I would recommend getting a specific spray solvent (DeBond) to remove. I used it to remove a cabin top winch, which would have been impossible without.
@SEMPERAVANTI41 is this what you are talking about?
I've never heard of it before but it sounds like something I want on my boat. Is it basically goof-off on steroids?
@Maine Sail sells butyl tape. I purchased two rolls a fews years back. I still have about half a role left. Great stuff.
Butyl Tape. Bought from MaineSail. Best stuff around.
Rebedded deck chainplates with 3M 4200 and three of them were leaking within two years. Rebedded them with butyl. Wish I had known about it the first time around. It seams to last forever.
Trimmed up some sloppy, crusty looking sealant at the foresail chainplate on the bow last spring. I think it was original. And it was still soft and sticky under the crust of dirt and topside wax.
