if it's not all the way through fixing isn't really necessary, but if you wanted to you could take a doddering iron with a flat tip and smooth it out.

Fix the wife part or the kayak?:D

I think she's trying to tell you something....:eek:

Well, obviously fix the wife thing first. After that, I second the notion of "if its not all the way through... don't screw with it."

I had an old OK Trident that got a rough ride due to a screwed up swim step on a boat. Looked like a shark got to it. Some of the deep cuts I flattened out with a heat gun and some spare material. The shallow cuts, all I did was make it look worse.

Most importantly, you can deform the plastic by putting too much heat in an area for too long. If you haven't done it before, I wouldn't try on your new ride.

Looks cosmetic. Actually, it looks like some points in your column when you tell her that you understand it was an accident and she is more important than any material thing you have.

Should get you on the water more for a while

leave it alone... you can always call the manufacture to send you some plastic of the same color and weld it or just some go over it with a solider iron with a flat tip. I have one that hobie makes.

When your wife comes home today....

This is great, it's a get out of jail free card for the next time you screw up.

DUDE...REALLY?

If I had to take pictures of all of the wounds that my PA has I'd have to take over 100 photos. Get some heat, press that thing back in and get over it.

One launch at any of the grater launch ramps will be way worse.

yeah tell how you would feel when this is only a 14 day old kayak...

momo fish 03-18-2015 01:54 PM

Don't feel to bad.. My first trip on new kayak got all scratched up after landing low tide and not seeing the rocks. Looks far worst than your damage and it was under the kayak of all places.. Could not blame anyone but myself

benichi 03-18-2015 01:59 PM

yeah just sucks at least she still floats

Bert Vega 03-18-2015 02:07 PM

Your supposed to scratch it right when you get it. Like a helmet. I wont put a new one on until after I drop it. In the grass of course, them things is expensive.

easyday 03-18-2015 02:07 PM

It happens man, mine came off the delivery truck messed up. from the forklift. Andy did a great job smoothing it all out. All our kayaks on here have their battle scars. if they don't they don't get used enough.....
