what glue to use for wood to fibreglass please

[SailorGreg]

Epoxy works for me, Araldite or similar for small jobs or one of the many other two-part epoxies, with fillers if needed, for large jobs.  If it's a very small, non-load bearing part on to the gel coat (smooth) side then superglue will probably work, but make sure the surface is cleaned properly.

A small amount of the lay-up resin will give a very strong join.  If you didn't lay the hull up your self, Epoxy or a gel super glue.

[StarLocAdhesives/FiveStar]

Always sand the inside surface of fiberglass due to the wax added to prevent air inhibition during cure

After sanding, the best glues would be something like flexy cyano ( rubber toughened cyanoacrylate ) or a toughened methacrylate such as our ` super acrylate ` , epoxys would also work but are not quite as strong as methacrylates or toughened cyanoacrylates on composites

If using standard fiberglass polyester resin , as its quite low strength with no fillers , to get strength use it with a long fiber filler such as chopped glass strands or a piece of glass cloth
