I didn't notice any adverse effects when I used it on R/C gliders, as I mentioned. But then, I was using very thin material, .75 oz glass. You may want to do a little test with the typical 4-6 oz glass, used on kayaks. Also, you don't really need that much spray adhesive. You just mist on just enough to do the job.
