    What is the best adhesive for joining fiberglass to fiberglass and fiberglass to wood?

    Thanks, T- Bucket Bob

    You'd be hard pressed to beat West System epoxies. It's the Go-To for the marine industry for construction and repairs here in the islands where conditions are most demanding.

    Depending on the job you need to do, you may find one of their specialty adhesives most suitable, like the Six10

    WEST SYSTEM Epoxy - Marine Grade Resins & Hardeners

    Gorilla Glue has worked awesome for me. Better not make a mistake and try to remove it.

    You would be hard put to beat 3m 5200 marine adhesive, either fast or slow cure. We used it all the time in the marine industry to bond fiberglass to wood or fiberglass to fiberglass...

    I just use old fashion resin or kitty hair when using wood along with cloth (or mat).
