More Kayak Repairs

This time a Liquid Logic Jefe (Chico) was under the heat gun for an hour or two. The spilt was approximately 20-25cm long and was located under the seat.

Removing the seat took a fair bit of effort (much more effort was required to get it back in).

The split was cut back and cleaned up before running several passes of new weld over it.

An additional “stressed area” was also welded up from the inside.

Equipment used:

A few strips of old boat
Dewalt electric hot air gun
Lump of wood to press against the holt plastic if required
Seam roller
