Keel Shield coming off

[Nutt]

I noticed my Keel Shield is starting to come loose right at the end closest to the bow.  Any suggestions on what I can use to glue it back on so the whole thing doesn't come off?

Clear two part epoxy from any parts house.

When I had an issue, I mixed it up on a piece of cardboard and used a toothpick to apply between the boat and the keel shield and it worked great. Being clear if there is any overage it doesn't show after hardening.

I bought my boat (used) about 6 years ago and the keel shield had already started to come away at the forward end on one side only. 6 years later, it is still the same, hasn't got worse at all. It doesn't affect anything in performance, just a little unsightly.

Sorry, not much help, just sharing my input.
Hopefully I might get something helpful from this thread.

Thanks, Mike!!  Man, your quick!!

You really cant see it coming loose unless you really look at it close.  Its still formed where it should be, just coming loose.  Was afraid of water getting in where its loose and taking it off, especially when accelerating to get on pad.  I'm gonna try the epoxy Mike suggested.

I'd try heating it up with a heat gun and pushing it back against the hull, first.

rip the whole thing off, clean both surfaces and glue it back on, or just do what Mike mentioned, it's easier and should work just as well.
