Royalex Cyanoacrylate Repair

This flexible epoxy was used to repair two Royalex canoes. The slots closed up to the core and then the baseplates made with just epoxy with no felt or kevlar strips. A good working time is about 45 minutes at 72 degrees Fahrenheit and 30 minutes at 85 degrees. Since then the epoxy has withstood some flux impacts. As with all epoxy resins, it can be difficult to work with as it becomes more viscous towards the end of the working time. I would recommend it for floor protection and repair of vinyl or royalex boats.

Pros
  • OFFERS MORE FLEXIBILITY than traditional epoxy or polyester resins. However, it is much tougher than adhesive sealants. With a modulus of 150,000 psi, this epoxy adheres strongly to metals, plastics, glass, masonry and fiberglass. Can also be used to wet and bond fiberglass tapes and fabrics.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
