Anyone know if this will stick to a plastic canoe. I have a Old town canoe and the bottom is getting pretty tore up from dragging it over rocks.

Probably. I used it on alum pram two years ago and not a problem. Checkout their website for details or call them. http://www.amazinggoop.com/ci_faqs.htm

Not sure about plastic canoe. But it was amazing on my aluminum canoe. One word of caution is that this stuff is VERY runny! Even just before it dries it WILL run. I would still use it again, just take your time, turn your canoe so the area your working on is always flat. That means you will have to work on very small areas at a time, and mix small batches at a time. I used a scale to weigh out each part for very small batches. Lots of work, but good stuff.

I think the plastics made these days won't wear out in our lifetimes. I'd say it's pretty durable; up at bear camp I kept this on my belt attached by a bicycle inner-tube chunk, it didn't move and held up fine in thick cover. I highly recommend this, may want to put some super glue on the fire rod handle where it attaches to the rod as that was the first thing that failed but was a quick-n-easy fix.

I believe it would stay pretty well. The adhesive is strong. I use it primarily for gripping on smooth polymer /plastic surface and haven't had it fail on me yet. Additionally, I trust it to hold in all manner of situations... Including rain/wet.

I used it on the bottom of my aluminum pram (boat) so it would protect it and slide over rocks.It is slippery and you could add sand in my opinion for traction. Good luck

Doug, Sorry to say I have no experience with paddle boards. This product is like putting a layer of very clear plastic over a surface and you really do not know it is there. It holds up well for scratches and such. It could be pretty slippery if wet, I would think. It is not really sticky with adhesive, it uses a light soapy solution that activates the adhesive but you can slide the product around for fit. It bonds with the original surface until you wish to peel it off at a future time. Hope this helps.

If your canoe is under 150 pounds it probably will be okay. I hauled a 7" X 9" X 10' railroad tie approximates 100 pounds at it worked great. I have two Kayaks. One is 39 pounds and the other is 48 pounds. It handles them with ease.. the strap that comes with it to strap the canoe or kayak to it is adjustable for larger than my kayaks.

I am not an expert canoeist but it weighs about 100 lbs. It is tough plastic. Mine flew out of trailer and just got scratched up a bit at 60 mph. I love it.

Yes, I've used it for both a canoe and a kayak. I have a large canoe that is too wide for the t-bar so I added a length of 1x1 oak to the top that sticks out several inches on each side. My sit-on top fits nicely on it.

Definitely not aluminum. Some kind of polymer. Aluminum canoes are super rare - nearly all canoes are synthetics.

Maybe if it were used in the middle of the canoe so that it would be on a flat surface. Also I don't know if I would use it like this with a Kevlar canoe.

Yes, it sticks very well. I used it on a wooden stepstool for my son and have had no problems. It will show though, if that is of any concern. It was not a concern for me. The stepstool is much safer now and it's been over a year.

Yes it works great - I have done this kind of repair... Many kayaks are also made of the same materials. There are vids on youtube showing how to do the work.The kit also comes with fiberflex strips which work on most any plastic. It is a real good idea to watch the vid on that CD or is it a dvd, hmmm... anyhow watch it before you try fixing your boat. If you are in or near St Pete I will show you how if you want.

There are tabs with holes at the base meant to screw it down to the boat hull. Epoxy might work, you would have to be careful not to clog the water intake holes.

My canoe is 36" wide and 14' long. There is a lot of extra width and for you should not be an issue but I'm not sure about the length. I think they do run bigger because I also bought a 10' cover and there is at least 6" of overhang on that one.

I have one of these and use on a fresh water lake.. my paddle sinks right away. Glad I tested it - ended up getting a paddle leash which works, but can get in the way. Better than losing it though I suppose.

Seems to hold ok on plastics if allowed to completely dry (at least overnight). For things like stone and metal it doesn't adhere so well. Agitation more so than water itself is the problem (such as rinsing the glued item under running water). Probably better off using 4-minute epoxy, testing an inconspicuous area first to make sure the adhesive doesn't dissolve the items being glued.

I actually don't think this would be the best material. It is soft, has an adhesive back, but I don't think it is tear resistant enough. If you could fine a polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) foam, that might work better. I have a canoe and know how agressive the gunwales can be. PE & PP foam are much more tear resistant and also have a lower coefficient of friction. The low friction means the forces tearing the foam apart would be lower and the force required to slide the canoe along the foam would be less. I would guess neoprene would not last a season. Hope this helps. Paul.
