In Response To: Material: Bonding ABS hatches? Sika or?? (John Abercrombie)

I used 5200 to glue on my KS hatch rings. Rough up both surfaces with 80-100 grit paper to give it some tooth. There's a lot of surface area there. If I were strong enough I'd bet I could pick up the kayak by the rings and shake it around without fear of them breaking loose ;-).
