Marine Goop on Polyethylene.... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Big T · 03-16-2014, 02:00 PM

I've been using marine goop to attach things over the years to the kayak with Marine Goop, simply because it's what all the shops recommended.

It HAS worked and I enjoy using it but I just finally read the "cautions" on the back and it says not to use it on Polyethylene!

What gives? Has anyone had deformation issues or any other types of damage from short or long term usage?

I for one haven't had any issues at all, so I will probably keep using it, but was just curious if there are any "hidden" issues I haven't experienced yet.

OR does malibu make their yaks from a different kind of polyethylene or something?
