Answer 1

You'll want to use an MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) based glue. You can order it directly from HYSIDE raft company out of California. Order through them an it will contain detailed instructions. Follow the directions diligently. The major trick is to apply a very thin coat, use MEK solvent to thin, on both surfaces and allow to dry. Redo this process but only allow it to dry enough to become tacky then firmly press together. Use a large hammer or a trailer ball to rub over patch to seat surface and work air bubbles out.
