Is there anyway to glue/bond/weld parts made of Starboard together?

-- Geoff

Geoff,

The only adhesive that will work is 3M Scotch-weld DP-8005. It is a 2 part
that comes in a $22 2oz binary cartridge. Requires a special $60 applicator
and $2 one time use mixing nozzles. Expensive but you only use a very
thin bead so 2 oz goes a long way. It performs wonderfully. I built the
waterproof hatch between my forward head and the sail locker in 1/2"
starboard. Glued the frame and the hatch stiffeners with 8005 and really
gave it a workout to make sure it would stay together.

If you want to spend the money you might try calling 3M in San Pedro Sula:
504-551-8777 or Tegucigalpa: 504-239-9577. Maybe they can find some for
you.

Very funny Skippy.
Believe he's referring to that white plastic material some boaters
favour over marine grade plywood. Some say it's very similar to those
white cutting boards your wife uses in the kitchen....or in Skippy's
case, what he uses in the kitchen.

Starboard is a UV stabilized high density polyethylene sheet. Good for
making fittings like table tops and cabinetwork. It is non porous and very
low surface energy so almost nothing sticks to it.

Thanks Glenn.

And I'm glad to entertain those who told me about the other side .

Larboard is an older word for port. Brits use it more than 'Muricans, but
you'll hear it occasionally.

Anti-larboard, of course.
