Regarding the glue for attaching minicell...I am at the fitting out stage on my Ches17 and was planning on using a tube of 3M marine adhesive for attaching the minicell to the deck, cockpit, and hip braces. I recall talk of this glue a ways back in time, sometime in the last century - June or so perhaps. I seem to recall it was permanent stuff and would serve the purpose. Is this 3M glue a good choice for minicell? Paul C.
