I want to glue thin 1/8" ABS plastic panels to a sanded gel coat surface in the interior of my boat. I don't know if the ABS glues will stick to sanded gel coat. Any experience in this?
Thanks,
Richard

ABS doesnt stick to much. check with your local 3M representative.

Will not happen....... whatever you are installing needs to be screwed on or riveted or placed behind some strips of wood or metal....
