My floors are
powder Coates gloss black. I’ll be picking the white sealant over run for a while once it sets.

The gen 2 floor uses a sandwich core and they specifically
call out using the marine sealant and not using silicone.

Once you open a tube of 5200 use as much as you can as chances are the next time you go to use it it will have already setup....

Good Lord, isn’t that the truth?
5-7 day setup? And the stuff gets everywhere. I’m super anal and it still took an hour of cleanup.

Totally agree, I hate the stuff but it's much better than RTV and the best thing to use in marine applications...

Did you ever happen to watch the TV show Dexter? That’s what I feel like I needed to do with my shop prior to using that goop. Just ball up the plastic and throw it all away....

That's a good heads up! Time make sure I have the floor covered before I do that part of the project!

For the love of god, wear gloves with 5200! The stuff is gold though. Pro tip- if you have a pair of winter gloves take some left over 5200 and rub it between the palms of your gloves. Hang to dry and you have the worlds most waterproof, durable (and ugly) gloves.
