Hey Guys,

What have you found to be the best adhesive that is oil and gas proof for installing flotation foam inside the hull of a gas mono?

I've tried 30 minute epoxy but it won't retain the foam permanently. The epoxy seems to get soft over a short period of time and lets go.

Thanks,

Marty

I have been glueing in sheet foam for years with epoxy. Started with West Sytems and now Research Resin. I would not use the 5,15,30 min epoxy for anything boat related. It just does not hold up on the long run. Best to spend the money and get good epoxy and do it once.

I have used this stuff. Pretty bulletproof and sticks to anything. Really similar to 3M 5200 but less expensive...
