Default Gluing/Bonding/Welding Starboard

Geoff,

The only adhesive that will work is 3M Scotch-weld DP-8005. It is a 2 part
that comes in a $22 2oz binary cartridge. Requires a special $60 applicator
and $2 one time use mixing nozzles. Expensive but you only use a very
thin bead so 2 oz goes a long way. It performs wonderfully. I built the
waterproof hatch between my forward head and the sail locker in 1/2"
starboard. Glued the frame and the hatch stiffeners with 8005 and really
gave it a workout to make sure it would stay together.

If you want to spend the money you might try calling 3M in San Pedro Sula:
504-551-8777 or Tegucigalpa: 504-239-9577. Maybe they can find some for
you.

Is there anyway to glue/bond/weld parts made of Starboard together?
