Tell me how to fix canoe!!! - Jethro - 12-07-2005
I have drug a hole in the tail end of my canoe from hunting in it while I had a broken leg...
I have tried epoxy and JB weld and neither worked for long...
The JB weld held for most this year but has cracked off now...
Any ideas on how to fix it so it won't leak...
I use it to duck hunt out of so it has to work in cold temps and be able to be applied to it now...
I don't have a garage to put it into, so heat is a problem...
Thanks...

I refurbished the floor on my boat this summer. The only place I found in the state to purchase the proper fiberglass and resin was at 3D art in Kearns.

They were very helpful in showing me what I needed and how to use the items they sold me. When you call or stop in ask to talk to some on about material need to fix a boat. I suggest that you call for directions first they are a little hard to find. I took several pictures printed on 8 X 11 papers which really helped.

Sorry the canoe is made of plastic...
Would fiberglass cure in the temps we are having??

No fiberglass would not cure unless you have a well heated garage- well heated ! Is it plastic or the Coleman Kevlar ?

There are kits out there to fix this-------- you may be able to find them at a Marine Wholesale company- most of the companies that I have seen sell kits- and they range anywhere from $39.95 to $69.95.
I am sure though that if you search you can find the components a little cheaper.
