scotch 2 sided outdoor mounting tape is the tape you will want to get. also be careful how you cut the pvc because it will crack if you are to rough with it. if you are making a thick skid plate when you go to cut it heat up the area you want to cut first. I've been asked many times do I sell these or why don't I sell these. I have sold about a dozen of them in the past and 2 people came back and said it didn't fit right so I don't want to sell something if its not going to fit everyones pa14. it could be a lot of reason why like how you store your kayak, my kayak or your kayak might be warped of it may have come from a different mold at the Hobie factory.
