Comments about WEST System G/flex Thickened Epoxy Adhesive Resin and Hardener Kit:
I used a kit and a half of this stuff to fix the six large and 24 small cracks in my Mad River Explorer as well as add two three layer skid plates. Following the guide in JD's "How To's" it came out great. I had one crack in particular that ran down below the water line that made me nervous. My brother and I took the canoe duck hunting last fall and when we got high-centered on a submerged log in some flooded timber one of us had to get out to get the canoe off the log. All 280 pounds of me was in the back, as well as my gear. When my brother started jumping up to push down on the front end better I thought "If it's gonna go, it's gonna go now!" The log was not far from the under waterline crack, but everything held beautifully! No leaks, and the hull still looks great. 1 free canoe + G-Flex + sweat = A GREAT DEAL.It would have cost me around $1800 to buy this canoe new!Thanks JD and Thank You G-Flex!

Comments about WEST System G/flex Thickened Epoxy Adhesive Resin and Hardener Kit:
G-Flex is amazing...I am a serious whitewater kayaker, I managed to break a BIG crack in the bottom of one of my boats, and it wasn't just a simple crack, it made a semi circular flap so this needed strength, not just to be filled in. This boat is made of unweldable cross link Poly ( a jackson kayak), so I had essentially written it off. I gave the G Flex a try, followed all the instructions ( grind out the crack like your welding it, abrade all surfaces, flame treat it, etc) and added a piece of glass cloth to the layup to reinforce it. This has held through some heavy duty rock bashing and small drops ( no big waterfalls , but still, a couple of feet onto rocks..) on three river trips so far and it's still going strong. One hint..don't skip the flame treatment, I experimented and it does NOT adhere without it, make sure you flame treat the whole area your applying it to.

Comments about WEST System G/flex Thickened Epoxy Adhesive Resin and Hardener Kit:
I repaired a teak hatch/seat for a propane locker. The seat came with the boat (46' staysail ketch) and was made with one piece of teak. The wood is badly checked and had two serious cracks along the grain, one of which went 5% through the piece. I broke along the worst crack, inserted three biscuits, used GFlex as an adhesive putting the sections back together (teak to teak). I then slathered on the Gflex on the bottom and screwed a piece of carbon fiber plate, securing it all together. So far, so good. Results will only truly be known in another month or so, but it is good enough that we are exploring its use to solve a particular challenge on a large new vessel under construction where I work.
