My tickets to the Seattle Boat Show back in January came with a free subscription to "Cruising World". Back when Sue and I were cruising most boats were 25 to 35 feet long. Now, apparently, those would be dinghies... but I digress. An ad in the magazine caught my eye. West Systems has an interesting repair cartridge that fits in an ordinary standard caulking gun but delivers metered epoxy for emergency repairs out of a single tip. The system is called the "Six10" and I'm pretty sure it's "one use" but it's certainly small enough to stow away in most kayaks going out on an extended trip (or even as an emergency repair kit on any kayak). The ad claims it can wet out fiberglass, carbon fiber and other reinforcing materials. Price is about $20. If you get one let us know how it worked.
