Will this product repair a crack on a fiberglass kayak?

I would use it the nice part about it is the long set up time mix it then mix fiber glass with it then apply

I would not expect the repair to last. Your boat probably flexes at the point of the crack and this otherwise excellent epoxy probably would not hold as it would flex at a different rate. You really need something like Bondo fiberglass repair with a fiberglass cloth patch, in my opinion.

sure- all depending on the strength of the area surrounding the crack. You could add a little 4oz. fiberglas cloth and it would be strong! I use it to fill stress cracks- it's very flexible compared to regular west system resin. It does turn really dark.

Yes, call the G/flex Company and ask for customer service to steer you to technician to tell you how to use the product.I have had good luck with this product on a number of projects besides kayaks.

Yes its the best epoxy on the market its marine grade .You have to let it cure over night and the nice thing about this epoxy is it has some flex to it so it want crack . good luck

Not sure. I used it to apply kevlar skid plates to my royalex canoe. I had deep gouges but no cracks. Good luck.

Yes, It would be a good choice for fiberglass Kayak repair in my opinion. It is felxible and strong. I used it to repair a Carbon Fiber bike frame for that reason. I have used it for repair of Fiberglass rowing shells as well. You may want to check the West System web site for other options just in case ther is a better choice. They make great products.

Yes it will but it needs to be a nice thick coat. I use it on all types of tables and fishing lures I make. I also use it on craft tiles I make for my wife and it works great. If you have never used a product like this you need to google bartop epoxy and watch some of the videos that are out there you will learn a lot. I aply it and after about 15 min. I use a heat gun over it and it takes out all the air bubbles. Again I have been using it for about 2 years. Roger

It depends on how large your crack is! Normally, I believe it should fix several cracks if not more than 6 to 7inches

That's a hard one to answer. I've played around with the "slippery-bendy" type plastic that they use for things like ATV fenders and recycling bins and that is probably not the type of plastic that this would repair. I would look for some kind of plastic repair kit or plastic "welding" kit that involves a hot iron for that repair. I used the fiberglass repair kit on an old Jeep CJ-7 hard-top and it worked better than I could have imagined. After the patch cured, I sanded the edges smooth and painted it. No leaks and it takes the vibrations fine. Sorry that I couldn't be more direct with the answer for you. Good luck. That's a hard one to answer.

No experience with using it on skis, check the NRS repair website. They use it to repair plastic kayaks and inflatable boats. It should be appropriate for your purpose.

No, I don't believe so. The hole is fairly small - the system uses pressure to force the epoxy into the crack. Just be sure to read the directions before you begin, there are some that are vital, but you can easily glance over. I used this repair kit on my windshield and was very satisfied.

Yes if the sail is dry for the first 24 hours to bond strongly, but I'd probably go with seam grip or aquaseal for a more permanent repair (also GearAid products).

so far i have tried it on two things, a sit upon kayak that is molded plastic, I have been putting a few coats on it, so i dont know yet if it will keep the cracks from leaking. The second item is my pontoon boat, there were some tears in the vinyl seating. It is not working on those, they just keep opening up.

Hi Doug, I'm pretty certain it won't hurt the fiberglass in any way. The problem will be to have the stains exposed to a solution of super ironout for a long enough period of time for it to work completely. I principally use it to clean iron stains off of mineral specimens. I soak the specimens in a warm super ironout solution from 2 hours to overnight, depending. Good luck, Steve C.

I have not used it on fiberglass, but several coats 30 minutes apart should fill in the hole.

I just spoke with the manufacture and unfortunately this will not work on fiberglass.

I am not sure I used it to repair my dashboard in my truck, but from what I am seeing and how well it works. YES if you where to use it and sand it down then put some sort of clear coat protective paint. It would fix the crack in the bathtub.

http://www.marinetex.com/gluvit.html this should help better than what i can say. I really liked the results. i used it on my fiberglass deck that had some stress cracks in it and I added Evercoat epoxy color agent and I'm happy with how it turned out. I hope you get some good results, this stuff really is nice.

From my experience with this sealant on many materials, it will likely peel off your Kayak soon after applying it. You may want to contact LOCTITE and inquire about one of their adhesive sealants like those used in teh automobile or sports equipment industries.

I think this can work on a fiberglass tub IF the tub does not flex too much as the clamp is tightened. Mine was used on a standard cast iron tube, so the clamping was certain.
