I bought a pair of Avon 'registration mounting plates', Avon part
number #N00074 (and West Marine SKU #400499), and would like to glue them on to my Zodiac (which is made of PVC). The mounting plates are made of hypalon. Has anybody actually done this? If so, what glue did you use, and how good were your results? Avon suggested using their two-part hypalon glue to do the trick, but paying over $40 just for glue, on top of over $20 for the mounting plates, is hard to swallow. I would hate to pay that much for glue only to have the mounting plates fail to make a strong bond to the PVC. I have seen a rec.boats.cruising post from a few years back that mentioned that the one-part hypalon glue doesn't even stick to the mounting plates, so that is a non-starter. A different post mentioned that there is a less-expensive two-part glue called Rema Tip Top SC-2000 that works on hypalon, but whether it will also adhere to the PVC fabric is unknown (I may try contacting the company directly to see if they can advise me). I haven't yet found a dealer for the SC-2000, but I'll ask the company about that, too. So, has anybody actually done this and gotten acceptable results? |
