I also recommend doubling up on the nitrile/latex gloves.
Put on two pairs that way when your up to your elbows in 5200 and your phone rings/need to scratch/drop something/need to operate a doorknob, you can take off one glove and not have to try and put new ones back on. I don't know what it is with 5200 (and anti-seize for that matter) but I swear you only need a teaspoon and you could cover the whole county. ![]()

Make sure you tape everything! I think I used 4 tubes and I think most of it squeezes out. I remember bolting up fairly tight. Cleaning up the mess of 5200. Then pulling all tape. Then bolting up really tight (after a partial cure) and running a finishing bead of 5200 to make a nice radius.

A rubber squeegee (the best) or plastic spreader cut to about 3" wide works well for removing the excess.

Glad to hear mineral spirits are the preferred solvent. That I have on hand. To be clear, the bracket is already installed, I'm just putting on a sealing/finishing bead in hopes of eliminating a mysterious slow leak that fills the bracket every summer. I am assuming a single tube should be enough. That's all I bought. Would I be wise to grab more before geting started?

I like to use a tongue depressor to smooth caulk. Pack of 100 from a craft store is about $2.00. |

all went well with this project this weekend. I'm hoping to get it in the water next weekend. Hopefully this cures the leaking issue. Thanks for all the advice.

I never use 5200. at some time that bracket will come off. then the swearing starts. been there done that on transducers below waterline. I use 4200. or life caulk. its done now hope it solves the issue.
