It looks as if Eagle may have something similar in the non-setting bedding compound area.

or Evomastic from Jewsons and other builder's merchants ? EDIT It's made by Bostick

It is a bedding compound used to prevent water ingress yet not solidifying like 5200.
Also very useful to put around screw threads going into bare timber.
I remember removing pieces for varnishing on Ticonderoga and the s/b
screws ALL came out easy, first time.
Did the same job a few years later and I would swear they were the same screws with the same result.
Sadly I have never seen it in Europe. Order a tub online from the States.
Cheers,
Chris

We use it for most bedding jobs from keels (with a gasket) to deck fittings etc. I hve taken off cleats I put down over 12 yrs ago and the bedding was still sticky underneath.
