Paul Trybul Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I own a fiberglass canoe that is starting to show its age. I've dragged it through one to many riffles and bounced it off of one too many midstream boulders. A few trips to the Wisconsin river this summer advanced the aging process. I went out and purchased some Bondo fiberglass repair material. After reading the directions it looks like applying this stuff is geared more towards a skilled trademan. Kind of like mudding drywall where you have to mix compunds and work fast before it hardens. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with canoe repairs and tips for working with fiberglass repair material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick D. Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Paul, Repair kits are available at www.oakorchardcanoe.com. They may offer some suggestions. Also post a note on River Smallies. There are a number of old school 'glass' paddlers that will probably offer some suggestions or resources. I'll look thru my files for notes articles or sites that might be helpful. Its been a decade since I did any 'glass' repair. Search for powerboating boards for similiar material. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
