    Want to change the location of one of my seats this weekend. Fiberglass deck. Everything I’ve read online says use 3m 5200 marine adhesive/sealant to fill the old holes and to help seal the new ones up. Having trouble finding 5200 at local stores. Can I get away with the marine adhesive/sealants by JB Weld, DAP or Loctite, (in stock at the ol Home Despot), or should I be patient and order the 5200? Thanks!

    Think mine was Loctite, just need something rated for underwater. Most RV/Marine stuff is not.

    Grabbed it from Home Depot so they should have what you need.

    Try Ace hardware I got a tube of 5200 there a couple of months ago.

    Thanks folks.The Loctite PL Marine Fast Cure says right on the tube, “use above or below water line” and “for through-hull fastening and deck fittings” so I think I should be safe with that.
