"Is there anything that 5200 doesnt work on??" acrylic, plexiglass,wet wood, etc. I use Siro-flex as an alternative. 4.99 a tube at the local lumber yard and cleans up with water. Plenty strong enough for most applications and you don't have to use all in a day or two. My stone counter guys use it (RTV variety). You can lift the kitchen island by the top once it's cured.

everything has its place.

5200 is great to seal and hold.

lifecaulk makes a nice seal that you don't need a jackhammer to break.

epoxy is good for permanent hard fixes.

etc....

i bent my wookie

That 5200 is really amazing stuff for most repairs. It stands up forevever and is very strong. If you have a real serious problem and need a lot of bulk strength then I agree, the west system epoxy is problably the way to go. But for something that comes out of a tube...that stuff is impressive.
