Bonding New Plywood cabin sole

[TBeyer]

I am wondering what the best method to bond a new plywood floor down would be. The old coring and top layer of nonskid was removed and replaced with plywood and fiberglass. I have cut, fit and top finished a 1/4 thick veneer ply wood to go over the repaired area and am wondering if I should use 3M 5200 or 4200 or epoxy the wood down? Any thoughts?
Thanks Ted

Either 5200 or epoxy will work, and both are permanent. It may be a bit easier to get a consistent and more easily compressible layer of epoxy than 5200, as 5200 tends to resist compression over a wide area like a cabin sole.

Plus, 5200 has a very long cure time--several days. This also translates to longer open working time.

I'd probably use epoxy, all things considered.

Just make sure you coat and seal the entire underside with epoxy before you put it down. Then any areas you miss with paint will still be sealed.
