i am told that this stuff makes a drift boat slide easier over rocks in the river? as no one has mentioned that use, could there be another gluvit?

we used it to help protect the bottom from any small leaks that might develop. really doesnt make it slide much easier but does give a degree of protection from leaks plan on using this product each year easy to apply and does a good job

Only one Gluvit.... it seams like it would protect your boat bottom from wear and tear.

That's not a bad idea, but that's really up to you. I've run over over plenty of things from trees fallen under water to sticks thick enough that stopped my boat. The boat has survived them all. It's a great boat and was definitely worth getting if you want to see if kayaking was your thing. You need to run over something so sharp or hard that can puncture this boat, but if you're careful. This boat can last you for quite some time.

Spray it on pressure and the amount of catalyst will effect the texture.But to get the effect you want spray one to get the rough texture, then roll on the final layer. Comes out withe fairly high peaks and valleys, but is still snoot to the touch. I did my boat that way so it doesn't tear up my feet and knees! But you still get traction.Glbn

They are not designed for this but they could be modified by removing the plastic on the slider that locks into the base and drilling a hole to attach rudder line. You would need to attach line close to base to reduce friction. I am not sure how long they would last with the constant movement using the rudder. I work for a company that hires kayaks and the rudder slider assemblys wear out after about 1000 hours of paddling and they are designed to move. For the price I'd give it a try. Good luck

I guess it depends on the river and how fast the water is moving! I would advise against it if you are likely to come into contact with rocks and trees as the material is not strong enough and will easily puncture!

I've used it on pretty much everything smooth. Great on bath tubs, refrigerators, grave stones (smooth granite only), headlights, aluminum and fiberglass boats, you name it! I really love this stuff! Rick Ruppert, Iowa City

Hi Sally,I am on a boat and used Quakehold a lot to hold small stuff down while cruising.I have an even temperature but I would think at a high temp. of 100 it would melt down.As I said it has been invaluable to me. I did try to use it on pictures on the wall but this wouldn't hold it needs to be on a table or such like not on a wall. I do use it to stop pics from sliding keeping them in place but after an amount of time we decided just to screw the pics to the wall, saved a lot of hassle.I hope this helps in your project. Glad I could be of help.Regards, Jean Hi Sally,I am on a boat and used Quakehold a lot to hold small stuff down while cruising.I have an even temperature but I would think at a high temp. of 100 it would melt down.As I said it has been invaluable to me.

I saw a brief video (perhaps @ the vendor's site?) which had a nice demo. Near the end of the "run" just do a little "fling" up. I find it works great with dry or wet snow. Just did a search - this demo looks good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9GgYKtBE9Q. PS: I also got the gravel attachment. Hope this is helpful. All the best. Pat

Interesting question. I had not thoughtof adding stuff such as crystal light to my water. But I would think that in the way the soda stream is set up to work, using products such as crystal light should be fine.

No, I can't answer this -- I purchased the Collinite Liquid for my son who wanted to use it on his boat. Sorry.

Although it might have use as a lubricant, the main purpose I have seen it used for it as a sealant for connections in air lines (for divers) and water/filter lines (for aquarium hobbyists - my own use). I would suggest getting something clearly labeled as a "silicone lubricant" instead of this.

Cartridge supost to take out minerals from the water. You can by it on Amazon or Sharper image website. But if your water is good you don't need to use it and in my opinion I don't think that those cartridges are helping at all.

I use it to spot fish ahead and to the sides of my DRIFTBOAT. Most of the rivers are less then 20' deep. For my application, it's great. :)

I still have a little bit of the black algae on a powerhead and a few rocks, but for the most part, it grows very, very slowly, so it doesn't get out of control to where the algae looks like somebody's hair waving in the breeze. As far as a can tell, it was actually changing the ph of my water which helped out there. I run a freshwater tank and try to keep the ph anywhere between 6.8 and 7.2 - obviously, if you are running salt water, that might be different, but where I live in Nebraska, the water tends to be quite hard and slightly alkaline, so I used an acid buffer. That's really what got the algae under control for me. I've heard some people have success with Flourish Excel in terms of keeping algae under control, but I don't think its really formulated so much for that as it is for overall plant health. Could be that it changes the ph slightly, and this causes the algae to die or inhibit its growth, but I don't think that is the case. If you want to control the algae, I would think that you need to lower the ph just a bit. It won't take much. That's been my experience.

there's been times where I've used water but water doesn't have the viscosity needed for a smooth glide on a whetstone. plus using oil instead of water will keep certain blades in better condition

so far we have ran over some small sticks in the river and when we get to shallow water it rubs just get out and pull it through.I have only had it out twice but so far have had no issues.even when pulling up to a gravel bar I just get out of it I have a rope tied to the front and I just drag it onto the gravel bar and have had no problems. one thing to note is that these have a flat bottom to them so they act more like a raft in the water than a kayak.

Maybe, I'm using the round floaties you buy at Walmart on my landing gear so I can land on water and protect my go-pro. Sometimes you see a part of it but, I really like it!
