Has anyone tried this stuff??

I stumbled on it at Lowes, and figured I'd give it a try. These boat ramps are wearing on the hull.

It was around $10 for a 4 pack of 3x3 squares, and $13 for 2 5x5. I put one on a little while ago,hopefully it cures properly. It's basically a patch of fiberglass pre resined. Hopefully I'll hit the water on Friday. Fingers crossed..

I agree the ramps are wearing on my 2015 PA. Let's us know how it works? I would be interested in trying it.

Interesting. I use pvc custom molded to the front and rear keels which has saved me a lot of wear and tear.

How does that work?

I scored 12' of Keel Guard from a retired sailor who was giving away his boating accessories. I haven't tried using it yet because it feels so heavy.

You guys may need to flame treat the polyethylene so that the stuff sticks properly.

I cut about 1 1/2 ' pvc in length and then cut the diameter of the 1 1/2" in half down the whole length. I used a heat gun and formed it to the keel. Used some goop and glued it on. Works great.

Now there's a total DIY solution!

Waiting to hear how NYstyle's fiberglass patch came out.

I just gave it the touch test, it's still tacky. Pretty sure it shouldn't be. The instructions said 5-15 min cure time, sunlight dependent. It used UV to cure. I don't really have high hopes at this point, it'll be tested on Friday.

KeelEazy is some good stuff. You can ask for a sample for free. I have used it for years. It does tend to fall off after a few years but I have abused the hell out of it.

I have that on my other outback. It's easy to put on and can take a beating.

How does Keel Easy adhere?

It has a self stick adhesive on the back of the strips.

I don't know if its because of the humidity, but this stuff never fully cured. It was still tacky 3 days after I applied it. It seemed to be hard after I pulled the kayak out of the water, but still felt a little tacky. I may try to pull this our off and reattempt it..... I don't know.
