Some time ago I read a post by (I think) Rob Macks where he mentioned a glue that works better on boats used in hot sunny, areas, such as here in Az. Brain fade has taken the name out of my head. Was it polyurethane, like Gorilla glue or something else? Does one brand stand out above the rest? The problem he mentioned was that the glue would start to flow under the fiberglass when left in the sun.(?) Is this a problem that decreases as the boat cures or is it something you always have to be careful of? I'd like to know before I start the deck on my Great Big Auk. Thanks, N
