V-Berth Trim question

[Lance Jones]

The white, leatherett board that hides the wiring between the teak and the hull is supported by wood blocks a-fixed to the deck above. My blocks are starting to come loose. How are they attached to the deck above? Epoxy? 5200?

[Ron Hill]

Lance : Not too sure, but believe that the factory originally used caulk.  I'd use some 5 min. epoxy to reattach.   

[Stu Jackson]

Gee, time for me to say that 5200 doesn't belong on a boat yet again.   Mine are screwed into the blocks, simple, no glue required.

[Stephen Butler]

Our 1990 C34 has blocks that are glued in with what looks like 3M 5200, and then the vinyl covered boards are screwed into these blocks.  Hope this helps.   

[Ted Pounds]

ALL of mine came off  and I re-attached w/ 5-minute epoxy.

[Lance Jones]

Thanks all!   Looks like West System wins another few bucks from me.
Stu, yes the trim is screwed into the blocks. However, what attaches the blocks to the boat? It looks like 5200 or similar on the ones that fell off.

[Ted Pounds]

Yeah, I think it was 5200 or something similar.  Mine was a tan color and the 5200 I've used is white.  So it may be something similar, but not as good...

Stu..I'll second that "5200 does not belong on a boat"...(someday you may want to remove that!). I have some scary stories to back that up...but the kids just don't listen!
