I'd like to line the inside of the expedition canoe with blue foam camping mat material
To stick to GRP with gelcoat.
Anyone any idea of what adhesive to use?
I wondered about PU sealant but there may be a better solution. I'd like it to stay on.

Contact adhesive, spray glue, evostick, thixofix or similar. There is also a latex contact adhesive, while petroleum volatile free it's just not as strong IMHO.

I used spray glue to stick the same stuff to wood and to now metal on my trike seat.
The unicorn had carpet stuck to it by spray glue we drove it 2000 miles in wind and rain and it held on.

Expanding foam should be good glue. Because it sticks to anything it touches.

Expanding foam should be good glue. Because it sticks to anything it touches. That's more or less what polyurethane glue is, sometimes branded Gorilla, it foams up and fills small holes and gaps too. |

Not direct sunlight as JohnV was referring to interior headlining. As for the canoe I am intending to cover the actual cockpit area with solar panels when not in use so hopefully the glued foam will not be exposed to too much sun. In winter it will be covered with a canvas awning or kept upside down on top of boat. |
