I have an idea in my head but need some answers or opinions from the experts. I know UHMW or HighFax as we call it around here is almost indestructible. Shoot depending on which grade a person is using things such as machining can even be done to it. My question is is there a resin or adhesive that will bond to it ??? Right now I know of nothing.

Nope.....no resins or glues will work. That stuff does make a good fish cutting board ;) I would not use it in anything requiring structural strength. There are cheaper materials out there

Re: UHMW or HighFax

Yeah kinda what I figured. Buddy of mine has a Performance bass hull with a 70hp rude on it and he wanted a raised deck up front for flipping. I told him first I know of no resin or adhesive that will work on it and the fact that it would add weight which is a negative. Told him I'd ask around since between him and me we have ALOT of this laying around.
