fixing Velcro to Kevlar
Here's an engineering approach: /untested/
find a washer mounted screwed stud or two.
These have a perforated disk or washer with a screw stud welded on.
Assuming the kevlar is epoxy glued, apply a glass patch with
zig-zag edges over the screwed stud with epoxy to the hull.
Now you have a hard point. you could bolt a velcro strip, or a wood
strip and glue velcro etc.....

Hi. I am looking for ways to fix Velcro straps to the hull of a Kevlar Sea
Kayak.
The straps would be to secure lead ballast and other gear
I am thinking of using thickened epoxy or contact cement.
I would greatly appreciate your advice.
Thanks
