How much to build me one ??????:sifone:

What color do you want?
I'm working on a Jig
Also just was measuring up a Profile that has a glass/bracket type to maybe go that route
But I think that tubes are the way

So bringing this back alive!

I'm going for the Tube and it's the end of the season so Pull this thing off! Right!?!
Wrong

All bolts out and I'm assuming that they used 5200 to fasten it to the transom
SO, guess what!

Any advice on how to diffuse the adhesive
We have tried pressure, jacks, leverage, wedges?
Short of cutting it off with a chain saw and grinding the rest down I'm kind of at a loss

There are several debond materials out there that soften 5200. I've never heard of one being better or worse than others. Some of them are debond 2000, Anti Bond, Marine Formula by Debond Corp, etc. I'd just try whatever your local marine supply store carries.

Is the 5200 thick enough to where there is room to put a heated razor or knife between the platform and hull? (Or a hot piano wire/fishing line wire leader)? If so, you can saw it off first then remove the 5200 with the debond material.

Once again, another perfect example for the liberal use of high explosives.
