In Response To: Material: Glue for Happy Bottom Seat (Ken F)

: I have a Happy Bottom seat from CLC that I am mounting in my soon to be
: finally done Redfish Silver. I would like to glue some strips of velcro to
: the bottom of the seat with corresponding strips in the cockpit. I
: attempted to glue the velcro to the seat with a clear glue I found that
: was supposed to work on cloth and smooth plastic surfaces, and is
: waterproof, and it was a complete failure, the velcro slipped right off.
: Has anyone found a glue that adheres to the rather slick surface of these
: seats? This is a sealed slick surface, not a rough surface like minicell.

Barge Cement, kinda the standard for paddlesports, sticks to everything also kinda hard to find, likely get it online, though I've seen it once at Home Depot.
