Let me weigh in with my C$0.02 (don't even bother with the US value) :-) I've used the LePage water-based contact cement on low stress stuff with some success. The thigh pads on my SK are still in place after almost two years, though the edges are peeling. This is comparable to the factory installed i-dunno-what-glue pads on my Perception WW kayak. I've also used it to build up thin layers of foam into a thick hip pad. The result is in a nylon cloth wrap, so it doesn't get much shear stress, nor tension. It's also holding.
