If its a metal track glue sounds good - its hard to get epoxy to stick well to aluminium. If you're going to sailboat you can probably find some there, and the stuffseems to be reasonably available on line... BUT there are a whole host of different grades of sikaflex and I confess I don't know which one you want...
I thought the stars on Taking Liberties looked quite neat when new, although its not an effect that has survived wear well - looks too tatty too quickly really. My boat has recently featured dark blue overspray spots on light blue topsides, but I do keep her monochrome below the chines for ease of maintenance and fairing. Half polished off spots and patterns look less than wonderful! |

It's a carbon mast and it looks like the track is metal. Hard to tell
really as my hands were numb and it has quite a lot of carbon and resin
on it! Would Sikaflex be enough on its own or would it be best to lay
some carbon up around it as well? Also where would i go to buy this
Sikaflex?
The Kite halyard is already quite high up the mast but as i have a spare set of spreaders available to me I feel that installing them might be best on the safe side. I should be picking up a 15m and an 18m kite at the weekend so i will have to wait and see what shape they set at with the current position before i decide to go masthead or not for certain. As far as the painting goes it is definitely going to be stripped right back as i'm not sure the blue with yellow stars on the top and white with red spots on the bottom are really doing anything for my "water cred"! |
