I am looking to stick wooden blocks inside the console so I can screw wooden panels down to hold electronics?

We used it because we were in a hurry to get it on the boat for a scheduled trip. It rained that night and we have construction adhesive streaks running down the sides of the boat all around. I'm sure they will wash off. In fact, after a few trips out I think most of the are already gone, but I thought I'd tell you. The rub rail is still there. Mike

The question came up because I though in the box of boat stuff I carry around, I had Boatlife caulk and construction adhesive but no 5200 to stick down the blocks, so I was looking for alternatives to 5200. In reality when I went out to actually stick down the blocks, I had a new full tube of 5200 and a tube of construction adhesive so now to seal all the screws, I need to go to the store anyway and get Boatlife caulk Just how my luck is running these days.
