Is this ok to use on a royalex boat, or should I be using another type of adhesive? Thank you for your help! Why have I waited so ...

Vertige X is sold.

Thanks, Mark! I'd like to add that we would consider trading for a smaller or more beginner-friendly OC-1. The Vertige X belongs to our outing club, and lately I've had small-ish kids who are beginners, and we just haven't used it very much. I'm looking to replace it with something that would be mor...
