In Response To: Epoxy: Surface mounted fittings (John Faas)

Question: Is there any real world concern re mounting my fittings for the front deck on the surface using epoxy as the "glue" per normal building practices???

I glued deck hardware on one kayak.

At a show, in the summer sun, the shock cord launched the fittings into space.

I don't trust glue after that.

I wouldn't want the glue to fail when I needed those deck fittings in adverse conditions.
