Fiberglass RV's use Stabond contact adhesive for Filon siding to foam/ wood. I don't know what exact Stabond part number is foam compatible: http://www.all-rite.com/stabond-t440-p-130.html http://www.outbackteardrop.com/body4.html Apply with roller to both pieces and let it dry slightly 5-45 mins. Then stick foam to wood. It will grab instantly and permanently. Test first for foam compatibility then practice before gluing. Also, use pink or blue foam board. It keeps it's R value WAY longer than foil foam board. Foil foam boards absorb moisture and degrade over time. Pink and blue do not. Dow has all the math and documents on this. Plus pink and blue foam are much less flammable. There is another way to make your own super tough bonded panels. I won't go into it here though. More info on foam to wood: Foam pads should be glued to your kayak with contact cement, but not all of these glues are suitable. Some brands have recently been reformulated for safety or environmental reasons. Many are not waterproof and lack holding power. Use a commercial-grade waterproof contact cement. It is flammable, nasty-smelling stuff! Hydrogrip Adhesive, Shore Adhesive, Sea Bond, Sta-Bond, and Shoemaker's "Barge Cement" are all good choices. No smoking in the shop, please! Contact cement can be pretty unforgiving to work with. You only get one chance to position a pad correctly; then, like it or not, it's stuck. There was another common contact cement I found in gallons. It was for RV use too. Will have to look for the link. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
