[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 497402, member: 7021"] I'm leaning towards option #2. Called 3M and spoke to a tech about their VHB tape and its adhesion properties. The 3M VHB does stick to HDPE but not as well as to other materials. He said a torch prep on HDPE is in order. Since the Stern Pad already comes with 3M VHB attached, one can only assume it was prepped correctly. He also said that some sort of sealant would be advised around edges (after mounted) to seal out water that could penetrate edges of tape. I'll reach out to Seaworthy Innovations (maker of Stern Pad) and see what I can learn about how they prepped. [/QUOTE]
