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...

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!

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..

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.

You used way too much resin compared to glass. It's the glass fibers which gives fiberglass its strength. Resin is not strong and cracks easily. Also a layer of woven fabric glass over the hole fist would help bridge the open hole and then matting over the fabric.
