I made the mistake of using loctite superglue on some rubbing strips and forgot to pin them, after about 3 trips to the lake they started to peel away, even though they had been painted and varnished.
Cheers Colin. ▲

I hope suer-glue will hold my strakes on OK.
I have just made some strakes to fit on the hull bottom of my Rapier (3 each side) and for the first time I have used super-glue to fix them in place with no brass nails. Previously I have used PVA for this job and in the 1960's I used Cascomite and Aerolite 306 and they all worked OK. I have driven my boats hard (and even raced my Swordsman in the sea) and they have held together OK.........so far............. ▲

Did you pin as well as superglue, as I've found superglue will release when wet.
Cheers Colin. ▲
