Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is the cure for thermoplastic case damage!

I needed urgent repairs on my Hobie Mirage kayak because it had a stress crack at the Mirage drive point. I've tried 3M Scotch Lock, Marine Tex, and a few other two-part epoxies. No luck due to constant flexing of the polyethylene kayak and adhesion issues. I've read about G-Flex online and had good results with thermoplastic adhesion. This epoxy is thick and very easy to work with. I sealed the crack inside the case with tape. I've kayaked about 5 times and the epoxy works flawlessly.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
