    Wire wheel on a drill, good idea to quicken the job. But the wires can break off from time to time, so as a person who has lived with only one eye. I would advise you to wear safety glasses.😊

  • @barbarajansen4912
    @barbarajansen4912 Місяць тому

    I once had a small hole from dragging my kayak. I used my Blaze torch, long pliers and a white bottle cap. I held the cap over the hole with the pliers and used the torch to melt the plastic bottle cap and watched the liquid plastic drop into the hole. It sealed inside and outside. No smoothing with tools. I just waved the torch like a magic wand and it was smooth and good as new. It lasted five years. So, here I go again. My only advice is don't do it on a windy day, as I put the torch too close and made the hole bigger. Now I have to go back and place some tinfoil into it to use as a matrix and find a yellow piece of plastic to flow it into the hole. It takes about five minutes to get this done and lasts for years. If you're experienced with using a torch this works great. I used to be a dental technician and my Blaze torch was very useful!

    That was helpful. I have a plastic dingey made of HDPE I think it is called and it need some help in the bow area. Pretty sure it is the same stuff Kayaks are made of and I have access to virgin plastic pellets right from the plastic plant.

  • @MiserableOldFart
    @MiserableOldFart 2 місяці тому

    Nice! I know weight is critical, but wouldn't it make sense for the manufacturer to weld a plastic "skeg" over the keel to prevent that kind of thing? It wouldn't add a lot of weight for a 2 inch wide by 1/4" strip... Or maybe dealers could provide such as an added option?? How about one of those mini-crockpot things to turn the new material soft and keep it that way so you can apply it more easily? If they heat enough, it would seem to make the job easier.. I've seen them used for mushroom wax, but of course that has only about 140 degree melting point, but I'm sure they hotter than that..

  • @rc3443

    if they make the bigger hatch closer to between legs, that'll make it a much better fishing platform, that way you can pack up your fishing gears or big fish catch while on the water. I guess I'm too late to say that because Stealth kayak already did it.

    In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
