I thought the whole point of bedding the beams was to promote a stiffer platform, by using super glue (5200) to glue the beams to the hulls, in addition to the two bolts. If you put wax on the beam aren't you defeating that?

I would like to glue my beams to my hulls too, but unsure of what is the best glue to bond aluminum beams to fiberglass hulls. They were already done with 5200 I think, but it looks to be dry, cracked and not doing such a good job now.

My beams are round, which I think only makes it more difficult for the glue to do it's job.
