Title: How to Glue or Stick Foam Rubber Supports ina a Kayak?
Post by: FeinDenz on July 10, 2013, 05:08:32 PM

To the Executive in Charge of Technical Fix-Ups (Fix with an i not a u...) (ECT F-U):

If I bring my virgin Fluid Nemesis kayak this weekend, what "stuff" should I use to position & fix the foam-rubber inserts? Carpet tape or an approved glue of some sort? Thank you.

Never had to glue anything in my Nemesis Denzil but for the option of repositioning I would say duct  tape or two sided tape.

Permanent: contact cement, not the water-based stuff however. And read the instructions! For other things, duct tape does fine. EXFU what?

If you need to glue it to the plastic you will need to rough it up first with sand paper or it won't stick, then use contact cement.

Merci, mes amis, I'll bring duct tape while positioning to get comfy in the Fluid.
