    Default Bedding compound for gunwale rub strips

    What would be a suitable product to bed my rub strips to the gunwales with. I am going to fasten them with copper nails/roves. The surface they are going on to is already painted. I don't want to use epoxy as they may have to be replaced some day. I suppose it will have to be some type of sealant/adhesive but not sure what to use. Any suggestions welcomed.

    Hi Patonga - I used Sikaflex 291 for this job. Refer my Post #287 - 136 Rub Rail, Coaming and Coach Roof Trim Installation. You might find it useful.

    Second Sikaflex, couple of things though, ensure it has plenty of date on it, you need a hd 2strap gun for it, and tubes dropped in warm water make it much easier to apply, best clean up is toluene

    Ian,
    Do you mean check that it is not close to it's "use by date"?

    Size (and other) polyurethanes have a shelf life of 12months unopened. I have had tubes go hard on me on the shelf
    There is a manufactured date stamped on each tube if you need to check but most sellers turn their stock over regularly

    Sorry, yes I see a lot of out of date tubes, on the shelves, this is one product that goes off in storage
