Review on Trimbrite BodyGuard Clear Smooth Protection Film - 12ft x 5 7/8in by Tyler Ramey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal as a keel band for kayaks.

I've used this material for keel tape on all my kayaks and it's held up well so far. The roll is 6 inches wide so I cut it into 2 x 3 inch strips that are 12 feet long. I was then able to cut them in half so I ended up with 4 strips that were 6 feet long and 3 inches wide. This was enough for me to make 4 kayaks 13, 12, 12 and 12 feet long. .because the keel on these kayaks doesn't go all the way from front to back. Let's see if it lasts long enough to make it better than gorilla tape. But that's good because it's clear and I just used a heat gun to trim it to the hull of the boat.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
