Will this work to add more plastic to the nose of the boat? I have tried gator patch but concrete has rubbed right through it

@ChadHooverFishing 2 года назад

NO, that’s a whole different story and I have videos on that and will be doing a new one soon. You 100% have to have a variable temp heat gun and welding rods or spare plastic to do that.

@theupstateangler 2 года назад

That's when you take PVC Pipe and make a Keel Guard, or spend more money and use a name brand product... Glue or Double side tape will hold them on and they are sacrificial like the rear ones on most kayaks.... I used Schedule 40 PVC on my new Hobie PA14 and glued it on with black automotive gasket maker silicone... Of course you'll want to fix existing damage first, so wait for Chad's video...!!!

@bradleyrussell1973 Год назад

Not to be speaking from experience or anything, but a spoon is NOT used for smoking crack.

@Willy1216 Год назад

I worked for dagger back in the 90’s and i welded the kayaks when needed. You can do the same thing with wax paper. And if you’re working a spot with texture use 40 grit sand paper. Heat it up and touch it with the grit

I went fishing yesterday morning and the water was low in the river . I ended up hitting something abd getting a leak in my lure 11.5 . i used a atf jug made from recycled hdpe and a woodburner that i bought for $5 about 3 years ago . It did great . Nice and smooth . It matched my ocean camo lure so well that I went and made a keel guard out of sone of the recycled plastic too .

@FishYourHeartOut 2 года назад

Harbour freight has a cheap plastic wielder that was made a handful of repairs on my current Ascend 12T. Comes with small thin plastic strips for light jobs. You can get a 5 gallon bucket for larger repairs.

@ChadHooverFishing 2 года назад

That’s not polyethylene and it will come off rather quickly with a lot of use. Buckets are made of polypropylene and they don’t bond well. The best option is to get some scrap plastic from your local dealer or order some from the manufacturer

I’m about to buy a second hand kayak. It’s scratched up pretty bad but the guy has assured me there are no leaks. Is this a good idea?

@ChadHooverFishing Год назад

Depends on the price and how bad the condition is. Most manufacturers only warranty the original owner, so that is something to consider as well.

@BassManStrikes 2 года назад

I bought a native falcon 11 that had the logos upside down and I sanded them off then wet sanded the area down to 400 grit then did the torch over it and you can't tell that the molded in logos were ever there 😀

@ChadHooverFishing 2 года назад

Ha! That’s funny. I would have left them upside down…. LOL. That’s just me. Then I would have posted a picture of me in it upside down. 😂😂😂😂

@ChadHooverFishing 2 года назад

Those logos are a MIG (molded in graphic) which is paint based. So I’m the future if you have that issue you can also use mineral spirits to remove them and then you can wipe it down with water so that it doesn’t continue to “interact” with the polyethylene plastic

@mikefurness1598 2 года назад

Good suggestion Chad! I have always heated up an old putty knife with the torch and then touched the hot putty knife to the crack or the gouge whatever you want to call it. I will try the spoon trick the next time. But the hot putty knife really works well for me.

@ChadHooverFishing 2 года назад

Yeap, that’s actually what I use when I’m using the heat gun and doing a real repair, this is 100% just for superficial cracks and gouges.

@jamesberna6099 2 года назад

Great video Chad! I just got a brand new unlimited with what looks like a combination of long scratches and air bubbles on the starboard side along the seam. Nucanoe customer service said this was nothing to worry about, but I cant help but think if there's something that obvious, there could be hidden issues. I dont have Instagram or anything but FB. Is there a way I could send you the pics for your experienced opinion?

@ChadHooverFishing 2 года назад

James, you can email them to kayakbassfishing@gmail.com. But I will say up front based on what you stated that they are probably right. That’s called a parting line and it’s where the mold separates (or parts) and they then trim off the excess. Kinda like when a waffle comes out of a waffle iron there are those thin little crispy pieces. Some companies (and even shifts within the same company) do a better job of trimming that and then “flashing” it with a heat gun to get rid of it than others. You can also take a heat gun and a spoon or putty knife and touch it up yourself. Just use something to wet the spoon or putty knife so that it doesn’t stick to the plastic. Hope that helps

There is so much you haven't mentioned like how to control heat, brittle area where the heat was applied, proper filler rod, and something else to lubricate the spoon opposed to poisoning yourself.

@ChadHooverFishing 2 года назад

This isn’t a hull repair that requires welding. It’s exactly what I stated and intended it for, small gouges, grooves and nicks, not a hole. I’ve covered that in past videos and will cover it in future videos as well, but that’s not what this video is designed to advise on how to fix.
