Grippy stuff

Heres some work in progress pictures. I ended up using evostick impact adhesive, it seemed to do the trick. Used a whole 250ml/or 500ml can (think it was 500).

Still to be tested in anger, and the bubbles seemed to go away once it set.

50mm vinyl tape at the edges really helps (especially in this heat if the evo feels the heat)

I have re-covered the racks, and then had to stop because of the heat - the glue was drying too quickly.
Evostik 528 - 2.5 litres for £25 at Toolstation.

Andy, following your link (for medium density material) there are only options for whole mm thicknesses. I've checked the high and low density variants, and it's the same for them.

I'm inclined to go for 3mm on the racks, which get the roughest treatment when the boat sits on them, and try 2mm on the relatively flat deck.

Jay how has the 2mm on the deck worked out?

Bizarrely they don't do all thicknesses in all couloirs!
I have 3mm black on the racks (with a sacrificial extra ring taped on at each end made from offcuts) and 2.5mm blue on the decks - both absolutely fine so far except for one point where I didn't quite glue a blue edge. My fault not the material.
But I think 2.5mm black is one they don't make.

Probably suggest 3mm rather than 2 - or am I just trying to make Usagi heavier....?!
