Best Glue for a paddle

Post by Victor Caballeros » Tue Apr 20, 2010 12:41 pm

My Cheap Paddle broke from the paddle to the Stick. It was the little bolt they had put though it to keep it together no cracks or breaks. What is the best glue for the job and one that would not desolve in water and dry very quick!

Victor,

My suggestion would be to use G-Flex 650, the non-thickened version. This stuff is strong! If you are unable to get G-Flex any waterproof marine epoxy should work, just not as well.

Paddle on,

I've used GOOP brand Marine glue on a number of kayaks with good success. its the only glue I've found that sticks to plastic real well.
but I havent tried the previous post of g-flex 650.
And I can say that the gorilla glue does not work (on kayaks anyway)

Good Luck

Thanks For your input. I'll try g flex. Liquid nail does not work if anyone wanted to know.
