Default How long to wait on 5200 before use.

I need to know how long I have to wait to introduce 5200 to water after using it. Does it need a certain amount of set time prior to use? Can I just wait a couple of hours and run with it?

You will probably be ok, but I always prefer to give 5200 a couple days if below the waterline as a sealer. Above the waterline as a bedding compound, (hatch etc.) a few hours is probably sufficient.

It depends, there is a 5200 normal cure, which sets up in 24 hours and cures in 7 days, or a 5200 fast cure which is a much better choice, but harder to find. The label pretty much spells it out. If you don't give it enough time, it will ooze out, run, and drip.

If you want to put it in the water right away I believe you want 4200. Boat Life is also good it will cure if wet.

if you used it to glue your wig to your head I would wait at least two hours before swimming, and if you glued your strapon back together you dont need to wait, short stroking it wont break the glue.
