Any suggestions? Weldwood Contact Cement, the solvent-based version, not the water-based version, available in hardware stores. Thoroughly roughen both surfaces with 80-grit sandpaper, apply one coat with cheap disposable brush, allow to "dry," and follow with another coat. Fifteen minutes to half an hour later, press together firmly -- and you only get ONE chance for correct placement. Aquaseal will also work, but at much greater cost. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon May 15 2000 - 08:35:25 PDT
