I've used HydroGrip on several plastic boats (whitewater and touring) to
attach foam padding with great results. It's super strong stuff.

I tried to remove some of the padding in my whitewater boat to change the
outfitting, and it was all but impossible to get it all off (I ended up just
sanding it down almost to the plastic and applied the new Hydrogrip and foam
onto that little bit of foam/dried Hydrogrip. I would imagine that getting a
D-ring off would be somewhat easier, though.

Cheers,

Steve
