In Response To: my last word, promise (Jay Doorly)

Just spoke with engineer at Masterbond about appropriatness of X17 product for gluing polypropylene marine hatches in epoxy boat decks. He said NO, not a good idea! Works on PP to PP bonds but not to epoxy. Could not suggest any other product. Said 3M5200 with nuts and bolts is good choice.

I do not like working with 5200, too messy, gets on everything everywhere. If I do another plastic hatch will try Jay Babina's brute force epoxy fillet method, or polybond33.
