Has anyone installed the glue-on type of D-ring cargo hold downs in a

I've been looking to put some hard attach points inside the boat, but

haven't made up my mind as to what yet.

You can do really strong, really cheap hold-downs by taking a bare
D-ring, running some webbing through it, fraying the ends of the
webbing really well, then glassing the frayed parts down. Rough up your
hull a bit first. for good grab.


Do you have to use glass over the webbing? Can you just resin the nylon onto
the hull?
