Plastic boats may have their decks 'glassed to
the hull but usually it's a handful of self-tappers and a tube of
sikaflex. No rigidity there.



Building 22' aluminium masts with carbon fibre tapered tops, we used
Sikaflex to bond the tip to the ally. There were no mechanical
fixings.
Hounds are in the carbon so compression loads are tranferred thru the
bond.
No failures to date.
