[C320-list] Bedding Compound

[Warren Updike]

By golly, don't use 3M 5200 for bedding stantions.  Use a polysuflide product like LifeCalk from BoatLife or even their newer product.  I think 3M 4200 is polysulfide too.  Don't buy the squeeze (toothpaste-like) tubes, look for the calk gun type tube.  BoatLife even has a half tube.  By all means, find and read the past thread on rebedding.  This calk stuff is like baby poop.  Once you get it on a tool or your hand, it seems to magically migrate to every object nearby.  

I've done it on two boats and will continue to do it.  It's not a bad job, just time consuming.
