EPISODE 5

When working on an Arctic-ready expedition boat project, adhesives and sealants are central to practically every stage and task. Many people have a favourite that they stick with for no particular reason other than it being the first they tried, or through reputation. Here I put a range of them head to head in a cleavage test.

(Quick note - the weights are in the European format, so 6.000g is 6kg, instead of the more normal 6,000g - sorry!)
