Dave,
Check Procare ( aka Pratt & Lambert ), paint supply store up in one of the strip malls on the corner of Hanwell and Prospect.
They deal in West System Epoxy stuff and it looks like that GFlex epoxy is made by them.

Mark picked some of this stuff up today. We tried a couple of different applications tonight (on polyethelene boats, you still have to do the "flame treatment"). I tried it with velcro. Mark tried it with a a D-ring patch. I'll let you know how it works out.

It appears to be rock solid. We still had to do the "flame treatment" for polyethelene, but this is a lot cheaper than the "super glue" I had found to work on polyethelene.
I think the gflex was $25 for 250 ml.
I had previously used some type of super glue, which was about $6 for 3 ml I believe.
Wish I would have know about this stuff before I put 16 patches in my boat using the super glue!

Well by patches, I mean the D-Ring vinyl tie downs or whatever. Not as in patching a hole!
