I am getting ready to pick up my new Outback at NA and am wanting to install some zip tie bases inside my bow dry storage. I have the bases but have never glued anything on rotomoulded plastic. What type of glue should I use? I only want to glue them in once and don't want them to come lose. Is there anythine else that I need to know about gluing on rotomoulded plastic. Thanks everyone ahead of time.

Wet or dry?  Light or heavy duty?  I used some self-adhesive cable stays to route my battery cable inside the Revo.  They stay dry, support something which weighs little and have remained stuck for over a year. 

Epoxy, Marine Goop, or the big gun:

D It is going to be in my dry hold but I will figure that anything thats in the dry hold will be wet. I will be using the bases to hang things that I dont want banging around in my holds. Holding my battery box for my FF in place and routing electrical cable. I would say that 50lb of hold would be enough. The bases are self adhesive but I would rather glue them in so they dont come lose. I hate to do things more than once. I will check on epoxy Marine Goop. Thanks for the information. I get all worked up when I am planing on outfitting a new Yak it is like Christmas come early.

use epoxy if you want it to be semi-permanent - I am of the opinion that no glue is permanent. That Gflex stuff looks like it will do the trick.

I just wanted to say that the adhesive backed  cable tie bases are crap. My expertise is wiring industrial machinery, and those things are banned anywhere around me. Screwing is best, but I will use epoxy glued bases where the material is too thin to drill & tap blind holes - like kayak hulls.

Sherminator Thanks that is what I was looking for. I want to mount the tabs perminent. I went on the web for West Systems and West Marine carries G/Flex 655k and I think that will do the trick. I am with you on the self adhesive tabs they dont hold worth a darn and am sure that they would let go at the most inouptoon time. I have a West Marine close by so I am going to pick some up and start planning my tab placements. Thanks
