Oh dear, the power drill on the canoe thing. Relaxe I just took a dremel to one of royalex canoes to V out frost cracks. I was puckered the whole time. Next was skid plates. 80 grit to roughen up the surface. The way the sand paper roughed up that surface, dear lord I kept repeating to myself. On skid playes I used kevlar felt, 2 inches wide at one end and 4 inches wide at the other. 30 inches long dry. Once the epoxy was soaking in and I was pressing out air bubles the wet length became 30.5 inches. I had to do some hasty surgery on the tape up at the 4 inch end to get at more royalex instead of masking tape. I used Gflex 650. Long pot time provides time to for little changes. Expensive for skid plates but I already had it for crack repair. If you need to repair cracks I would now advise to use the Gflex thickened epoxy, its like tooth paste. Would have made crack repair a lot easier.

Want a skid plate on it soon

Nice job mate. How’s it working out for you? Would you change anything now after using it this way?

[@bannister-lifeoutdoors8004]

Working very well thanks I haven’t changed it yet , might still add more tubing at the front and back for more easy points to hold airbags with , all in all Iv very please they give so many options , that’s for the nice 👍🏻 comment

[@wardee5203]

Good vid bud, what size lacing did u use please?

[@bannister-lifeoutdoors8004]

Thanks . 5mm floating rope climbing rated rope would do the same ,

[@jamesbarrett1647]

Nice, i might not have used floating rope on the ends as many are not weight tested. Just some 10mm climbing cord. (If you want 10mm) Maybe it was a reflection, but when the camera points towards your knots inside.. is there small hole in the end of the boat at the top? 🤔 Looks good though 👌

[@jamesbarrett1647]

I mention the rope not being weight tested. This might only be an issue in moving water conditions, For example: Unpinning the canoe, you'll have 1000kg+ pulling on that loop. Something to think about, depending on your adventures. 😊

[@bannister-lifeoutdoors8004]

Very true but if it’s pinned I would used theses loops if I didn’t have to

[@kentkoehler4460]

Nice vid but need more volume

[@bannister-lifeoutdoors8004]

Thanks for the feedback audio is harder than the video but I’m working on it 🫡

[@lawrencefranck9417]

Load out points for gear and secure air bags for white water
