Default Sikaflex at 800 hours

Just a quick update on my Sikaflex slider on the -9A. 800+ hours now and over 5 years. No problems.

Her is a photo of the Slider bond on the trip back from Mackinac.



Looks as good as the day it cured. I know that the picture does not tell us much about the bond strength - but there is a long bond line and I can't see any issues - I will continue to monitor it, but am very happy with it.

Just one man's opinion.....

I don't have the time or hours you have, but my canopy is also just fine.

As Al Gore would say, "Duh duhbate is over."
