LJ fish and a cracking problem - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JB weld does not flex or contract/expand like your hull material does so expect it to fail.

For hull repairs I drill a relief hole at each end of the crack to keep it from spreading any further. Then using a hot tool, like what's in that that repar kit, to melt plastic and form it into shape. I always keep extra hull material from when I drill, cut, rig my kayaks just in case of situations like these.
