Just checked my can. There is no mention of what it won't stick too. over wood, GRP, metals, concrete, or any other pre-painted surface. I would say that if you use epoxy just make sure to wash the blush off. Josh On Jul 9, 2015 2:35 PM, Charlie Nelson via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote:

I would think it would be better to get at least a prime coat of paint over the epoxy, not only to help the KiwiGrip stick, but also for UV protection in case the KiwiGrip gets damaged or thin in spots. Uncoated epoxy doesn’t do well in the sun. Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 CC

You can drop the rudder by attaching a rope to the cross bar in the top of the rudder shaft. If I was doing it I would probably use a wire rope and a short section of pipe over the rope to shield it from being cut. My stern sits high enough that the rudder post is never in the water while
