Quick fibreglass repair on a kayak hull. Same principle could be applied on lots of crafts. Hope it helps out when the time comes to do some glassing.

I was searching on how to sort my damaged jetski hull and this is perfect. I went over some hidden rocks while out with a few freeride mates and it has taken a fair chunk out but not gone through so it's just a surface patch to pretty it up then flowcoat it. Thanks for the vid mate 👌

My family has owned a fiberglass bathtub manufacturing and repair business for almost 50 years now and anytime iv ever seen someone use fiberglass in a video I can't believe how much they don't know or how many things they could be doing to make it much better and easier but I have to say ur the first iv seen that pretty much does know what ur doing the only suggestion I would have is that u can always use poly filler or even bondobefor glassing the area and a real fine scim coat of leather one and then sand smooth to fill any tiny pits u may have also Acetone is the very best product to use to clean ur repair area before during and after sanding and gel coating/glazing or painting and to also use as a thinner in ur gel coat or paint and it will clean ir hands really good and drys in seconds with no oily film. But all and all real good job bud a man with good fiberglass skills that actually knows what he's doing isn't easy to come by...

@stephenwarrick8574 4 года назад

Ment to say a fine scim coat of poly filler or bondo not leather one some time when I use voice to text this new phone puts down some of the weirdest things that sound nothing like what I said what the .... is leather one lol there's no such thing when relation to fiberglass thanks for reading my comment Rok I would higher ya for fiberglass bathtub repairs.

Now this could come in handy for future reference! Would love to have seen the painting process as well.

Not sure if they're worth messing with but if they get worse I will be revisiting this video. Thanks

@KerryFlowers 5 лет назад

That was a good little instructional vid! Its great to have vids like this out there showing how easy it is to repair damage to these types of kayak... I assume that that was an older stealth that you were repairing? I've heard that the new ones are made with epoxy resin not polyester or have I heard wrong?? I had to do a fair few repairs on my Pinnacle kayak over the few years that I had it and I my method was a little different from yours - I glassed up the crack from the inside and then put gel coat on the outside, once the gel coat had cured I sanded it level and then went through the fine sanding grits and then polished it with a compound. That meant that there was no need for paint and I retained the superior flexibility of gel coat... Cheers!

@rokkitkit 5 лет назад

Thanks Kerry, yea we just use Poly resin. As long as the area is prepped and keyed up well it will stick no problems. You method sound good for no painting for sure. We use 2 pack and spray for time and ease👌

@movingloz 2 года назад

Thanks 🙏 heaps. That was so helpful. I’ve got a fibreglass repair kit here to fix a fibreglass pond (it’s dry, not in the ground yet, damaged from removing and moving). The kit has some white powder that it says is for making polyester putty. What’s that and do I need to use it anyway??? The instructions I now understand say to do what you’ve shown in this video but there’s no mention of where/how to use the white powder.

Either way amazing work pal.

@TheWeirdSide1 5 лет назад

Thanks for video! I just bought an older fiberglass kayak. The deck is weak and has cracks and wood rails are rotten on underside of deck(they are supposed to support the deck and seat). Feeling a bit overwhelmed thinking about it all and especially the painting part..I've never done this sort of thing. If I manage to patch it all up and reinforce the deck again, what can I expect for painting? I was thinking interlux two part paint but would like a cheaper spray option so I really get a glass finish.. I can't find any info on painting kayaks besides a ton of rustoleum crap can vidoes. If anyone has tips for paint..

@ontic2354 5 лет назад

Hey Rod nice work. Do you ever use glass cloth instead of chopped Matt? Also, don’t mean to be critical but given how much of this work that business probably does I reckon your boss should pony up for some better RO sanders, and particularly dust control. Festool rotax 150 for a start and the 90 for small jobs. Hook them up to any old auto shop vac and not only is the sanding and control superior to an air sander but you will get almost complete dust control. Perfect from roughest sanding to finest polishing. They may seem expensive but they last forever and pay for themselves. I am no OH&S nazi but that dust is bad and personal and environmental exposure should be minimised. Even if you wear a respirator while doing the sanding that dust is blowing around everywhere, coating clothes, and everyone ends up breathing it in. I know it is not your business, and stuff like this is hard as people get stuck in their ways, so really this is aimed at the boss! Keep it up legend. Hope that finger can get fixed.

@rokkitkit 5 лет назад

We have used cloth a few times on different patches. Yea some good ventilation long term would be a good idea👌

@AquaMarine1000 5 лет назад

Is there a reason for not backing the under-side of the hole to allow for a controlled finish inside? Cheers

@rokkitkit 5 лет назад

By the time you fill the hole with resin and glass it ends up sinking in a bit and being a bit thicker then the original walls of the kayak so no real need.
