        I've used Vynabond for attaching D rings to ABS canoes (well,
actually the vinyl skin on the inside) and I will use no other for this
purpose.   No, it does not melt into the plastic.  If I have to remove the
D-ring I can completely clean away the adhesive and leave no trace.
        While it works well on vinyl, I'm not so sure it will work as well
on plain plastic.  I have successfully used a glue called "HydroGrip", which
is sold under the Perception label and can be found in the Nantahala
catalog.  This one really hangs on.
        I've also used E-6000 (essentially the same as Marine Goop) as a
contact cement directly onto ABS and other plastics.
