I just finished a repair using 5200 ----- happens to be a toilet seat......
Is there a way to accelerate the cure so I can press the throne back into service?

was about to ask why you wanted to use that stuff that basically makes things permanently attached.. but I can see why you used it to fix something.

no advice on how to speed up the cure.. but I can offer this.. make sure it is cured before sitting on it

Yea, you could have a real situation! Isn't there a fast cure and a slow cure version? My understanding is that the slow is stronger, so take solace in that.

Easy. You need high humidity and heat.

I've used a cooler, damp towel, and heating pad, but I'm sure you could rig something up a little bigger.

So, you could just sit on the throne then eh?

You could FedEx it to me here in Grenada; we've plenty of both heat and humidity. I could return it when it's dry.

What was for dinner?

Seriously, every winter norther sailor complain that 5200 will go weeks and remain sticky. The humidity inside a heated space is just to low for polyurethane, which uses water vapor as a curing agent. A warm, humid enclosure solves the problem.

if it is only the seat.. take it off and bring it home. put it in the oven at "warm" with a pan of water. That should help it cure
