In Response To: Re: Using Epoxy to glue all strips (Monty)

It is true that yellow glue heat reactivates, but I am not convinced yet that this is the cause of the white spots you speak of. I have seen them and have some on one of my boats, but even epoxy softens with heat. The roof of a car on a hot day is a very harsh environment. You could try one of the new Polyurethane glues such as Gorrilla, but they are also toxic.

I know the problem you are trying to avoid and if epoxy were the solution then MAYBE using it would be worthwhile, but I am not convinced it would solve the problem, so for me the problems with using epoxy are not worth it.

: I would love to use Franklin's Titebond II
: WeatherProof (yellow carpenters) glue. BUT:
: Other's who have report that HEAT -REACTIVATES-
: yellow glue and this causes white spots where
: the fiberglass delaminates due to the yellow
: glue reactivating. These white spots were not
: there until after sun exposure so it wasn't
: bad glass apllication.
