Hello, 
the cockpit of my Nelo racing kayak has broken off. I've attached some pictures. 

It needs to be quite strong as I pull myself up holding on to the broken part when getting out.

The appearance is not important.

What is the best way to fix this?

Thank you in advance, Jurgen

Doesn't look like you've attached a picture, but it sounds like the resin wasn't properly cured before being exposed to water. How many hours after laminating did you leave it before taking it into the water?

Hello Hanaldo,

there should be a picture now showing the white areas (my repair) and the black areas of the original boat.
You might be right. We left it about 48 hours but it was quite cold so it might not have been enough.
Is it a case of rubbing down and applying another layer of XCR, or is it better to get some sort of top coat?
Thanks a lot for your help.
