Selling marine supplies to people so ignorant about boats that they barely know the pointy end goes first can be aggravating but I sure have learned a lot over the past few years. For instance, I’ve discovered that if you ever need to glue one thing to another and nothing you try seems to work, there’s a solution: West System G/flex 650.
This stuff is fabulous and, with proper prep, will adhere to damned near anything including the types of plastic they use for glue bottles because most other glues won’t stick to them. I’ve even used it to repair blown seams on inflatable boats that were given up for dead. It’s not cheap—around $30 for 250ml of resin and hardener—but worth every penny if you have a difficult gluing job.
There’s also a thickened version, #655, that’s good for situations where the glue running out of a joint is a problem, such as on a vertical surface.
