I paddle between 15 and 30 miles every weekend and some of those miles are
aerobic. I did initially glue them in with contact cement which eventually
let go. I re-glued them with 3M 5200 with a bead around the exposed edges
and it's held well for the past 5 or 6 months.

I set the yak on it's side and glued in one block, held in place with scuba
weights (10 to 12 lbs., then when it set, repeated the process on the other
side.
