: "What's going to hold up when it gets hot out??"

: I may be misunderstanding you but . . hot glue is used a temporary
: fastener or clamp. It is not used to glue your boat together :)
: Randy

I used the hot glue to hold key pieces to the forms. And I used it to hold the the deck sheer strip to the hull sheer strip. The last thing I did with it is the center lines and a curved piece on the deck that runs from the center down around the cockpit and back to the center. Mine tend to work loose and/or get soft when it's hot out.
