Hi
I need to glue some white metal fittings to my GRP hull, I think I should use super glue.  Ive tried searching for a previous post but haven't been able to.
Am I right please?

regards
Gary :)

Personally, I've used thick / slow set superglue and 5 minute epoxy.....

Gary,

Martin is right but I think a little overkill. I have only ever used superglue for this and never had a piece come away, even after more than 20 years..

Just make sure surfaces are clean/degreased and SG will hold for ever, I use painters panel wipe or acetone for cleaning
