Fixing batten to GRP

[Jelle]

Heya,

 

I'm relatively new to these waters, I have bought and am fitting out a GRP cruiser and was wondering what method of fixing battens to the GRP head lining you guys might recomend? It's no more than 5mm thick so I was thinking either a two part resin or a solvent based adhesive as opposed to screws.

 

Any advice greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

 

Jelle

Polyurethane glue from screwfix, did one about 6 years ago, no problems, dont get it on your hands though nothing gets it off

Evode product - 'Sticks Like S--T' not cheap (£8.00) but it does what it says on the tube.
