RE: [Paddlewise] Adhesives

Hi Jack,

I enjoyed meeting you at the symposium. Have you given Dan the info for
this list yet?

As for gluing stuff to polyethylene, the best product I have tried is
Lexel caulk, which somewhat resembles silicone II caulk and comes in
both clear and white. You can get it in both caulking tubes and in
smaller tubes for general repair and adhesive work. You may have to hunt
for it, though, since not all hardware stores carry it.

Note to Jackie or any other creative soul on this list: The North Star
Ski Touring Club recently made up business cards for its members to
carry. The cards carry contact information, including the URL for the
club's Web site. How about doing something similar for Paddlewise? The
card could be made up as a graphic that could be downloaded from the
Web site, printed on members' printers, and cut to size to carry in
wallets or purses. Then if we happen to be telling someone about
Paddlewise and can't remember the subscription info, we can simply pull
out the card and hand it to the other person.

     I think we went around on a similar issue a while back, but was
     wondering if anyone has any first hand experience in "gluing" stuff
     --- tie down ring pads, Velcro patches, etc. --- onto lineal
     polyethelene surfaces.  Have acquired a second hand Tupperware
     sit-on-top, and would like to be able to do some limited mods.
       
     Thoughts?
       
     Thanks.
       
     Jack
