Thanks... I read up on the 5200, and that seems to be a great option... Flexibility while maintaining adhesion is the key to keeping the wearbars in place and to prevent loosening over time.
The marine epoxy I used in the past was too rigid, and eventually just cracks.
Even though I dip the entire thread in the adhesive prior to screwing in the spike, only a very small amount actually stays on the thread, since the felt or rubber sole acts as a squeegy as the threads enter the sole... but Every little bit counts.

NOW... question is, do I run out and buy new rubber sole boots for 2012 because RI DEM officers have difficulty distinguishing the difference between fresh and salt water??? Maybe when they wear out... but for now, go jump in a lake... or an ocean... or any brackish water. "Ease of enforcement"... what a joke. If you dont know the difference, you're not qualified for the job, Period.
