Do you have to use glass over the webbing? Can you just resin the nylon onto
the hull?
The resin will probably hold just fine. If you're using epoxy, it will definitely hold.
Just don't use polypropylene webbing - nylon or polyester are better.
I hadn't answered previously, since I've never used PVC fittings like this. I've made
my own D ring attachments - I took a plastic D ring (no rust) and stitched some
webbing to a patch of Cordura (fuzzy side to the hull). I used 3M 5200 to glue
them to an ABS bulkhead and it held just fine. I'd expect that 5200 would
hold it to any S&G surface, but I'm not sure about it's strength in bonding with
PVC.
