It sounds like he did not use enough Vaseline (I hate when that happens). The bond is probably not permanent, but as I reported not too long ago, the first time it “lets go” can be a real nail-biter.
Also, when I made a Spar-tite plug for my 34, I discovered that the collar had one or two holes (possibly to run a bolt through the collar and into the mast, which I wasn’t using). I taped off the outside of the hole when I poured the plug, and the Spar-tite naturally found and filled the void. This created a real problem removing the plug from the collar. In my case I drilled the Spar-tite out of the hole(s) – careful not to go into the mast -- and the problem was solved. Irregularities with the shape of the inside surface of the collar can create a similar problem.

While it was out I checked for core but found solid fiberglass. I bedded it with butyl and have had no problems. I'm not a die hard fan of butyl and in some cases I think it leaves much to be desired - Not in this case. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G0hKiPOon_uYQ8vIR6_2P7Lp_U6p7zSA/view?usp=drivesdk Jake Broaderson on Midnight Mistress used the pourable mast seal (the name is escaping me - spar-tite?) He said that it had created a permanent bond between the collar and the mast. The only way to remove the mast was to now unbolt and remove the collar!

The only modifications/work done on it has been to drill 4 #10 size holes near the periphery so rain water can leak out onto the deck and no longer gets trapped inside the raised part of the collar. I can't imagine any reason you would ever want to remove a mast collar.
