: I bought some McMaster-Carr mushroom head velcro-like material for
: fastening a minicell foam masik to the underside of my Night
: Heron deck. I ordered the material without adhesive so I could
: choose my own. Last fall I had tried the industrial-strength
: velcro at Home Depot and ended up with a miserable mess of goo
: under the deck when the velcro peeled off. I believe I've gotten
: all of the old adhesive off and am looking for a reliable way of
: fastening the new "velcro" material to the underside
: of the deck and to the minicell foam masik. Would 3M 5200 be a
: good choice for this? I've also considered using thickened
: epoxy, but the space under the deck is a miserable place to work
: in. The "velcro" material is shiny plastic on the
: gluing face. Any thoughts?

: Also, what kind of contact cement should I look for to fasten my
: minicell foam seat to the cockpit bottom?

I've found epoxy works great for fastening the rough side of velcro to my wood and glass kayaks.

I use contact cement to fasten the soft side to minicel. I use two long strips of 2" velcro to fasten my minicel seats in. They are also usually wedged in place.
