I wanted to do the same (make seat removeable) so I used velcro too. I got some of the self adhesive stuff at WalMart, cut it, put it down and it is still there. I put it on in May and I have used the kayak a great deal since then. The adhesive that is on it seems to be very strong.

: I stuck a lot of velcro (fuzzy side) inside my Coho cockpit for my seat. I
: carved a minicell seat and I want to move it from one boat to another.
: Problem is I can not get it to stay stuck. I used DAP contact cement per
: instructions. I sanded the area prior to sticking the velcro down too.
: After a few dozen soakings the strips of velcro are coming loose.

: Anyone have a better adhesive for sticking velcro to the inside of a kayak?
