: Not even the 5200? plastic roughed up well?

: I had planned to use a screw-in Beckson for a day hatch, and wanted to glue
: the cutout "cover" to the lid with 5200.

I've got three Beckson deckplates on my Aral. The sealant that BBK used didn't work (no idea what it was), so I cleaned it out and re-bedded them in Lexel. So far, no leaks. Beckson deck plates are held in place with screws, so all that is required is a sealant, not a solid bond with the epoxy. Getting a solid bond would require a very expensive adhesive, if it's even possible.
