Certainly, fair points. ?And we ARE talking about holes in the bottom of the boat. ?My reply was intended to address the more specific point Scott raised, that of things specifically bedded in 4200/5200. ? My experience may be different from others, but I have been unable to separate 5200 bonds I know I made in the early 1980s, when they were more than 30 years old. ? YMMV.

I think the point is to rebed anything that would typically be bedded with a compound like 4200. It doesn't matter what was actually used -- only that you do not know when it was last done or how good of a job they did. Those products do last a long time, but not forever, and there are not that many things to rebed. So, you might as well do it and then not have to worry about it for another decade.
