Hi again,Zac said:I used 5200 to put my plate into the bottom of the step. I guess its worn in the middle more as the plate fell out after a week or 2.... Will try again this year
LooserLu said:Hi again,
I had the same problem in the last year. I was able to get the plate out again (it just fell out of the mast step while cartopping the hull...Sorry Rob E, I have no good ideas to get yours out of the maststep without damaging the tube). I cleaned the base of the maststep with sanding and acetone etc. Then I let dry the hull for a while (1-2 days). Then I took this "Stabilit-Express" (Search at Google for: Stabilit-Express Henkel) and did the work again as told above (this glue is a 2 component glue that gets most strong aft some minutes. I call it "the final-chance glue" and use it since in was sailing Opti). I went out again sailing for several times in realy heavy winds and choppy waves. the steel-disk still holds at the base of the mast step.
Perhaps you can get this glue there where you live. Here is a pic of it.
Ciao
