have you tried cleaning with an acetone or a wax remover? ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Kevin Driscoll via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> To: RPH <rph2m...@yahoo.com>, "C&C List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Nothing Will Stick! Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2014 12:40:36 -0700
Fwiw I've tried sticking led puck lights in my lazarette on our 30-2 and couldn't get anything to stick there either. I just finally gave up and stuck the adhesive with super glue from our med kit. I also stuck one on the underside of our helm seat so that we can more easily connect our shore power when we come in after dark.... Which we do quite often, especially after dark in winter. I am curious, did you connect the led s in lieu of the florescent fixtures located there or adjacent to them? I would be curious to hear what you've done for switching if it was the latter. It's your 30-2 in the great lakes?

Anyway, I attempted to install a couple of flexible led light strips in the overhead light recesses in the cabin of my 30-2. The lights are like these: http://www.westmarine.com/buy/optx-marine--flexible-heavy-duty-led-strip-lights-12--P012712865 Each overhead light recess has a translucent cover panel. Underneath the cover panel is the raw fibreglass side if the deck structure. The lights are supposed to be affixed using an adhesive backed tape. I tried the tape. I tried "industrial" Velcro. I tried "No More Nails" tape. Nothing will stick. By the next day, the light strips have detached. I did clean the raw fibreglass with Simple Green, but I am now wondering whether there is something in the resin that is making this a hopeless exercise. Any tips or suggestions? _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
