Jarbo, do you have any epoxy resin left? I bet it would hold better with fiberglass cloth or mat. You can get either at Wally World or lowes. The resin they sell there is shit but the cloth is the same as any.

I think it will. If it doesn't, try shoe goo! Flexibility is the key.

Not a resin, I used waterweld epoxy putty, have seen it do crazy things on vehicles. After curing I sanded smooth keeping patch thin. Then heated and used gorilla tape. Used a heat gun on each layer.

Look up "kayak welding."
They just use a hair dryer or a heat gun to melt plastic in to patch holes.

I always thought that was plan 1
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.

After first trip to the lake no leaks, from the repaired area at least. Did find another area on the rear keel that leaked, I was not surprised, I expected it.
