The UHMW I purchased did not have an adhesive backing, but instead was roughed-up on one side especially to take a fixative . . . The epoxy stuck right to the UHMW, and right to my aluminum kick-up rudder cheekplates . . . It seems to be an excellent bond . . . I'm not sure the self-adhesive UHMW would work as well . . .

How well does it stick to the epoxy, or does the epoxy form a shape around it that does the actual fixing?
