Epoxy gives a much better bond than polyester BTW.


Little confused here, the OP was asking about 'gap filling' not bonding, the
original reply from 'Grunff' that suggested Auto body filler would be OK is
correct / if / it is gap filling that is required, but if the OP wants to
bond then Epoxy should be used.

All I need to do is glue a wooden block to the inside of the hull.

Attached to the block will be a metal eye to tie a bungee cord to that
will be tied at the other end to a locker lid. Just to stop it
falling overboard really so does not need to be that strong.

The block has previously been glued to the hull by someone else but
has come off.

My first reaction was to bang some Gripfill in there as it is cheap
and would accommodate the slightly concave hull shape to the flat
block. I just didn't want to damage the hull.

Also, do you know if Gripfill (or similar) will bond to stainless
steel?

Thanks for all your advice.
