I have a 2004 Getaway with a crack by the rudder attachment on one of the hulls that needs to be sealed. An earlier post suggested Sikaflex as a sealant. Does anyone have experience with this, or any other recommendations given the hulls are polyethylene? |

I have heard that 3M 8010 works. Quote: 3M Scotch-Weld™ Structural Plastic Adhesive DP8010 Blue and DP8010NS Blue are
two-part, acrylic-based adhesives (10:1 ratio by volume) that can bond many low surface energy plastics, including many grades of Polypropylene, Polyethylene and TPO’s without special surface preparation. These adhesives can replace screws, rivets, plastic welding, and two-step processes which include chemical etchants, priming or surface treatments in many applications. |

Could this be used effectively on the Islands as well? |

Has anyone tried G-Flex yet on the Getaway? |
