Is 3M 4200 Removable?
3M 4200 sealant adheres to wood, fiberglass, gelcoat and certain plastics and metals. Because the product is medium-strength, it is best used for cosmetic or removable fixes, rather than permanent fixes.
What is the difference between 3M 4200 and 3M 5200?
3M’s Fast Cure 4200 has half the strength of 5200, which (with some effort) allows for disassembly of parts. A bond created with 3M 5200 may last forever, so you are in a pickle if you later decide to separate the two surfaces.

How do I clean my 3M 4200?
I just give it a good wipe with a rag soaked with alcohol. Be sure to wear gloves–it is absorbed through your skin. WD40, copiously applied, cleans up 4200 and 5200 – before they cure! I think your soapy water trick, which is a good one I might add, should work with both these sealants.

Well-Known Member. You should wait the full 24 hours for below the waterline applications. 4200 is my sealant of choice. It has very good sealing and adhesive properties.
