OOps, I deleted the original question. If you are looking to glue on keel
strips, my used Klepper came with a keel stripping kit from the Klepper
Service Center. It comes with long strips of stripping (hypalon, in my case)
and a big can of rubber cement, so that it can be peeled off in the future.
You should treat the keel stripping as sacrificial. Do not use pvc cement.
This will permanently bond the pvc, and you will never get it off without
serious damage to the original hull material. I suspect the same for two
part contact cement. I haven't tried gluing pvc with rubber cement, so try
it first.
The directions went like this.
Assemble boat.
Outline keelstips on hull.
Sand past outline by 1/4 inch with 60 grit paper, and wipe with white gas.
(whatever that is, I skipped that)
Brush on rubber cement and allow to become tacky (About 25 minutes).
Apply a second coat, and let it start to tack up.
Roll on keel stripping, do not lift up after it has come in contact with
rubber cemnt.
Use a spoon to roll press down on strip.
Let dry for two to three days.
I didn't do the whole keel, only the back two feet where some brasion had
occurred.
Hope this helps.
Paul
