Unless you rinsed off the Simple Green (soap) nothing will stick to it. A good rinse with hot water and a thorough drying should give you a surface that your adhesive will stick to.

I already know that this is a stupid question and that I will be shamed by the (obvious) answer. Anyway, I attempted to install a couple of flexible led light strips in the overhead light recesses in the cabin of my 30-2. The lights are like these: http://www.westmarine.com/buy/optx-marine--flexible-heavy-duty-led-strip-lights-12--P012712865 Each overhead light recess has a translucent cover panel. Underneath the cover panel is the raw fibreglass side if the deck structure. The lights are supposed to be affixed using an adhesive backed tape. I tried the tape. I tried "industrial" Velcro. I tried "No More Nails" tape. Nothing will stick. By the next day, the light strips have detached. I did clean the raw fibreglass with Simple Green, but I am now wondering whether there is something in the resin that is making this a hopeless exercise.
