will a polyester fiberglass stick to the plastic most kayaks are made of?
If not ,any suggestions, I'm building a permanent lock boxl for my keys etc.

NOT trying to make a patch!

thanks.

Have you tried Marine Goop? I use this stuff alot on my Kayak

You could probably find a Pelican type case that has a spot for a padlock. You could bolt or rivet it down and use some goop for a good seal.

Try this stuff 3m dp-8005

3M 5200 (especially slow cure) and also West Systems G-Flex do pretty good.

thanks guys gives me a place to start. Back is healing so lots of time to make a mess of things

Marine goop is ok temp sealer but will come off at some point.
5200 n g flex epoxy will work well if rough up surface.
Nvr heard of ne one trying to glass onto yak.

I would recommend fasteners rather than adhesive for you purposes
Some a hole wud b tempted to pry open adhered lock box ruining ur gear

I'd say something like this with the cable wrapped around your scupper;

While on the water, keep it in one of these;

Or you could just keep everything with you...

I'll tell you what sticks to my kayak. Seagull crap and Squid ink. Gotta just about take the belt sander to those two.

Anybody tried plastic weld?
