Hi Everyone,
It's about time we uploaded a new video tutorial! - This time, it's a straight forward, easy-to-follow guide to making a light to medium structual repair to a damaged composite kayak, canoe or boat. There's no special equipment necessary we just use a top quality epoxy repair resin, carbon/kevlar reinforcement and release film stretched tight to make effective, neat repairs to the hull.
Even if you don't have a boat (let alone a damaged one) then you'll probably still find some of the techniques used here of interest for your own projects.
Here's a link to the
Kayak Repair Tutorial in our Online Composites Learning Centre
.
I'll embed the video below but don't forget, we shoot all these in full High Definition so for a better quality version, please view on
YouTube
or the
Learning Centre
and choose 'HD'.
Any questions or feedback welcome.
