Here's the West Marine/99 writeup (p176) on the product: Marine-Tex Repairs damaged hulls and equipment in minutes. Repairs gelcoat chips, leaks in fuel tanks, water tanks, piping, engine blocks, cracked crank cases, etc. Unaffected by temperatures from -60F to +300F. Marine-Tex bonds to all metals, plastics, plywood, etc. Handles like putty. Hardens like steel. Sands like wood. 2oz = $6.99 14oz=$17.99 Quart=$47.99 I think I'm going to do this. I probably can't get to the local store 1+ hour away so I'll order it. Of course I hate pay more in postage that I do for the product so I'll have to order something else. Maybe a sea anchor or a VHF. Oh, decisions, decisions. I couldn't find Marine-Tex in Defender/99 but I did find Gel Coat Scratch Patch which sent me back to West Marine. West has it for a dollar more ($6.99) and a couple of other products. There's an advisior article on gelcoat repairs in the West catalog but unfortunately there's no text in the online advisor. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Mar 16 1999 - 05:31:28 PST
