[Rhodes22-list] Boat Stuff

[Roger Pihlaja]

Michael,

There is no adhesive I am aware of that I would trust to bond a polyethylene
or polypropylene fuel tank or heavily loaded shelf to the hull of a
fiberglass boat.  Adhesives just don't bond very strongly to these polymers.
You could polyurethane foam the tanks in place.  Or, you could fiberglass
wrap the tanks in place.
