The ties that bind
Article Abstract:
A sailing enthusiast describes the mess he created aboard his sailboat when he tried to glue two deck boxes on teak boards using 3M's 5200 adhesive. The 5200 is very difficult to remove and it made a six-inch-wide track down the slope of the deck. His wife's hair was also the recipient of some of the 5200.
