Stickers 17 years 8 months ago #17389

There is a rumor going around that the glue in bumper stickers can damage/weaken the plastic of a kayak or helmet.

Does anyone know if this is the case or is it just a wives tale?

I know that it's somewhat true for \"construction\" type helmets, as it's written in the Canadian\"Work safety & health commission's\" rule book but, it may be a bit far fetched. I think that it's just because that had to draw a line somewhere, to prevent stupid people from doing stupid stuff with there helmets...

Not enough experience in kayaking to give an answer that regards hull integrity... Might dammage the glossy finish but, I don't THINK it could weaken the hull.
