I recently installed my smart tabs using 5200. I need to use the boat this weekend. It will be approx 50 hours from install to launch. Should I remove the screws and put in some 4200 or will the 5200 be fine?
I am very paranoid from all the posts I have been reading regarding 5200.
Thanks

I just used it for for some things when replacing my transom and found that after 2 days it was pretty firm. I wouldn't worry about it.

You're fine. The next time I suggest using 5200 fast cure. It's done in 24 hours.

... try to remove a screw the day you leave. i found in my application for an oar lock plastic fitting, while it felt firm on the outside, still not cured on the inside after two days.

best of luck
