Are there any adhesive experts on the list (Chemist in the industry or anyone otherwise knowledgeable) who would know if there is really any difference between the contact cements like Weldwood and the so called marine contact cements sold by kayak shops? Weldwood is in the hardware store two blocks away and Perception's cement is at the kayak shop 30 miles away. I know some on the list have used Weldwood in their kayaks, how has it held up? Dave Kruger, you mentioned in a post almost two years (Oct. 98) ago that you used it for adhering velcro to foam. Does it hold up for a season? Longer? Presently I'm having the best luck with Marine Goop (also in the hardware store two blocks away) but I always get this question about contact cements when I teach the kayak outfitting workshops.
