JB Weld Keel Guard *SUPER STRONG*

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

Silicone cooking "Scoop", with end cut off. Makes JB Weld smoothing a "Breeze"! (Patched a "worn-through-hole" in a friend's Cheap Walmart 'Yak with it, after scuffing up with 36 grit sand paper. Been working great for over 2 years).

[@MOBBINOutdoors]

nice tip! would love to make this thing looking smooth. Hopefully someone will see your comment and give that a try

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

@@MOBBINOutdoors I'm about to do the same thing to my Catch 100 'Yak, as I've noticed some scratches on the front/bottom of the hull (Plenty of rocks, in Arkansas Lakes!). Haha! For the "Smoothing" process, I'm going to try a Silicone Mat when it starts to harden. That way, I can use a little rubber roller and smooth-out any "irregularities", without it sticking to anything. (If it works well, I'll let ya know!)

@@MSmith-jf5wo how did it work out, about to try this with my catch 110

[@charliemcabee4123]

Gonna try it tomorrow!! I'm as tough on mine as you are. Thx for posting

[@Agile47509chicken]

My Tarpon 120’s keel is looking about like this these days. I’ve been looking at repair options - might do this myself! Thanks for posting 👊

[@balatony_]

Im gonna order some JB Weld now.. thanks for the tip!

[@bryanvogt2591]

Just did this mod to my Titan 10.5, worked great! Thanks!

[@MOBBINOutdoors]

Awesome man!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

JB weld FTW

[@Garcia_Familia_Adventures]

First off. Welcome back. I though this was a cooking video. 😅 second, sick mod, very smart. I’ll definitely do it, too. 😁🤙🏼

[@vsaioutdoorx]

Wow 100° degrees there? I need to move to el do.. too cold here in south sac.

[@MOBBINOutdoors]

lol old video i never got to post. This was shot in the summer.

[@YankeeTankerOutdoors]

I so need to do this to mine.

[@aussie6639]

Just thinking would a bit of heat gun treatment smooth it out at the setting stage? Rookie question here

[@mochachinolatte4397]

Did this, mine shattered at some point.. not sure if i would do it again. Good short term protection tho.

[@fishntools]

Parchment paper is the secret for making it smooth.

[@MOBBINOutdoors]

Genius!!!!

[@johnmacmillan627]

Very good idea! Will give it a whirl. Thx

[@ZvookUK]

Pardon my ignorance, but why didn’t you use polyester resin and fibreglass? - that’s what is traditionally used for boat repair / fabrication isn’t it?

[@TheOldManOutdoors]

I know this is an old video but thanks for doing this. I have looked at many different options. I am going with this one on my Hoodoo.

[@yingyang803]

Damn need that for my 10.5 also

[@byronk.4220]

How's it holding up? Looks very strong.

[@hardrockminer-50]

Cool! I tried a chunk of pvc pipe stuck on with double sided tape. Not too happy with it. Tried Gorilla Tape. Nope. This looks like THE solution!

[@Offthegridfishing]

Would this work to fix holes ?

[@michaelpaul9672]

nice demo! can i use that to install a patch over small leak on a kayak or aluminum canoe?

[@MOBBINOutdoors]

I am not sure about that. I suggest plastic welding for something like that

[@amals51]

How has this jb weld held up?

[@MOBBINOutdoors]

still going STRONG! scuffed up because i go into the ramp on full send LOL!

[@Curry121]

Did you use both of the jb weld tubes?

[@MOBBINOutdoors]

yup, its pretty beat up now. But still protecting my boat!

[@Curry121]

Thanks for replying appreciate it. I ended up ordering gator guard

[@djomegaminus]

How well has it held up!?

[@MOBBINOutdoors]

got beat up pretty bad and finally chipped off. I didn't bother re-applying. But it held up a long time.

[@djomegaminus]

@@MOBBINOutdoors thanks for the reply. I kinda figured as much with it. I think I'm gonna go a different route.

[@captseamus]

Hey Einstein that's a two part epoxy. You suppose to mix the two tubes together!!! Then apply it to your canoe. Its not going to harden correctly!

[@davidmiller571]

He did.

[@davidhill7495]

Nice

[@orbnitsky]

You might try using a stiff paint brush, maybe a soft toothbrush dragged across the surface. It might be interesting to use cellophane or even wax paper over the jb-weld using a brush or thin plastic to smooth the surface. Hopefully it would peel off easily.

[@cindym8900]

I probably would have used real tools. Plastic spoon and edge of a plastic package?

[@dennisrphymurphy7929]

lol.
