Is there anyway to reattach Pelican Pick-N-Pluck foam?

Isn't that stuff GREAT! Only comes off with a grinder. I think you're right, but I'm pretty sure most of the 3M stuff contains silicone. Much different than just silicone, though...obviously.

Well, whatever it is it's not the right adhesive for your job. I have used literally hundreds of tubes of this stuff and it, as you said, not right for this job.

I would have to look but I bet there is no silicone in it. That would be my guess anyway.

Turns out you're right.

I'll have to let the genius on Cruisers Forum who claimed this, that he's wrong.

Thanks for taking the time to look it up...it's only from years of using the stuff that I know it had no silicone in it. WD 40 will clean it off your hands usually the best (or usually the easiest thing you have around).

In this part of the world we don't have that...we have a product called Sikaflex. Same animal basically and I would put it up against 5200 any time.

But my wouldn't I like to have back a dollar on every tube of 5200 I have used....

Off subject, but if you are building anything out of wood for a boat I would use liquid nails rather than 5200 when I did my joints or laid a deck. Much cheaper and works better for that type of application. I would never screw or nail anything down without it.

For building stuff I usually use epoxy.

Liquid nails remains just a little bit flexible...it's a trick I learned from Johnny Morgan, a boat builder from Naples.
