The Most Important Component of any Marine Adhesive or Sealant: Trust.

Whether you’re boatbuilding, maintaining a fleet or repairing a single watercraft, you expect your adhesive sealants to create watertight seals. But the right ones will do much more. They will resist weathering, shock, vibration, swelling and shrinkage over time. It also means they will earn your trust. 3M designs quick-applying, long-lasting adhesives and sealants for specific conditions – below the waterline, topside and everywhere in between, on virtually any surface you can find on your boat.
