To get your stickers (or velcro strips, etc.) to adhear to plastic, put a thin layer or two of contact cement on the hull, let dry, then afix your sticker, and you should be good to go for a semi-permanent application.

thanks for the responses, guys. I have some extra goop so will give that a try. I like the idea of putting the sticker on the crate, making it a portable solution, but I'm pretty sure the CF number has to stay with the kayak I registered and can't be "shared" between kayaks.
