Review on 🛠️ Optimized West System 655-K Boat Repair Kit for Plastics by Robert Hayes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works perfectly. Ideal for repairing kayaks.

My Hurricane Skimmer Kayak 116 has a serious design flaw. The seat support was insufficient. Cracks formed immediately behind the seat support, which were not immediately visible until the warranty expired. I researched different ways to fix this problem and came across positive reviews about this product. very difficult to reach so I had to apply the paste quite generously without making direct contact with the cracks. I added some extra material to strengthen the damaged area. The results look very strong and durable. Be sure to follow the instructions. Repair failed. The crack behind the black support returned immediately. The glue doesn't seem to be working. I lowered my rating by 2 stars.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Tape
