I’ve watched a dozen videos by 40-60 year old experts and a teenager shows an easier, faster, cheaper and over all better way to do it with stuff you already have laying around the house. Awesome!
I know it's not the newest video, but I think this is one of the best pieces of advice I've seen, yet, for kayak repair. So many other people have suggested specialized plastic welding tools which need a specific size HDPE rod to feed through it. It's not really worth the cost, if someone isn't going to need it very frequently, in my opinion.
I've worked in the plastics industry for many years. I do a lot of plastics repairs, but this is really good ! I will use your method to reinforce some garden chairs . Thanks a lot!!!
THank you for taking the time to explain in a simple and clear way how to do this without spending $200 for a plastic welder, or paying someone the same amount to repair it for me. You are the man.
Have you considered adding a stainless steel metal mesh under the plastic when heated in the oven. In theory it should bond with the plastic in the kayak, securing a better fit - any opinions on this? thanks for the great video!
🤠👏👏👏 What a great video! This man is doing great things! Really was an awesome tutorial I like how you broke everything down you spoke very clearly everything was easy to translate. I do wish that you had a Time on how long to put it in the oven but I understand that differs depending on what plastic you are using. I guess Beggars can't be choosers LOL anywho will be sharing this out what a great video. Thanks for helping clean up the Earth by reusing plastic that would end up in a landfill!!!🚮
I need to find a video showing how to reattach my kayak hull to the deck, both HDPE. It separated just for about 16", at the side of the cockpit. Tricky to get into the corners... Maybe a soldering gun?
New subscribers here from Trail Trash Outdoors! Thanks for the tips! Will be doing this with one of our kayaks this afternoon. Look forward to using this method or something similar and recording our experience! Much love new friend thanks for sharing!
The foam really won’t stick very well to the polyethylene, but you can use this to your advantage. If the area is accessible, you could just pull the foam out once the PE repair is complete. Closed cell foam kits are available, but they are considerably more expensive than home center spray foam products.
i just spent the better part of the day struggling to do this. It never occurred to me to us an oven to preheat the patch. Ill be trying this tomorrow i think
@@alexizzarelli9122 I never doubled the plastic as shown, but yes this works. It's mostly timing. You need the kayak plastic still soft when you add your patch. They have to meld together.
Phenomenal, old plastic buckets made of pee etc. are cheaper than expensive ones. Just clean, degrease, and heat the kayak base well and all scratches disappear. Everyone gave you :) greetings from 🇭🇷
I think the idea is more to get the two surfaces to an adequately almost molten state so they adhere on a molecular level. Sanding wouldn’t really do much as getting to that almost molten state would smooth out the grooves created by sanding.
I just tried this didn't work worth a shit. the plastic didn't even adhere to the canoe and came right off after cooling. It didn't adhere to the canoe at all. sorry but this method doesn't work.

Awesome!
I'm very impressed! Great ideas and video!
Quick, thorough and to the point. I’ve used this method to repair two different kayaks and it work perfectly and has held up for over a year.

One of the BEST Way to repair plastic Kayak! Congrats!
I'm watching a bunch of HDPE repair videos. Yours is the best.
MrMysticSeer totally agree
Me three 🙌
This is absolutely brilliant! Such a well made, easy to follow video! Thank you!!!

Very well-made instructional video👍 Wish I’d seen this before using a plastic welding kit. Much quicker & easier to do it this way.
Now this is what i was looking for! A well explained and intelligent plastic repair! Thank you!
Best repair video I've seen. Thanks
Thanks for your video. Really appreciate the idea to heat in oven. Now my kayak doesn't leak.
That was absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing!
THank you for taking the time to explain in a simple and clear way how to do this without spending $200 for a plastic welder, or paying someone the same amount to repair it for me. You are the man.
Thanks! This is the smartest example I've seen so-far. Straight and to the point.
You have saved another RS Quba. Thank you, Nicholai.
You are the man! Thanks for this.
Great Video! I wonder if you could also use baking parchment paper to heat the patch on?
Thanks for the great video. I looked at many and like yours the best.
Very well done, looks like a strong repair.
Best repair video. Thank you!

Bravo Nicholai! Well done ol' boy!
Good simple explanation. Well done!
Saved! Best repair video

Great job! Your approach to editing and good detail made this video both helpful and a pleasure, thank you.
Great vid, thanks
Good job kid. That was awesome!!!
would like to see what it looked like finished
Awesome idea..I don't have a hole but I'm going to use it as a skid plate
Yo, Nic, why you no show the finished patch, brother? Hmmm
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and post it. I found it informative and helpful.
Great, well done. Thanks. :)
EXCELLENT video!
Great job and thank you. 🎵
Nice method! I have not seen it done this way before. Is it still holding up years later?
Good video! I enjoyed it! You had a good crew too! But what did your mom say about the smelly oven?
Nicely done :-)
inmy opinion this is the best and cheap ,looks strong .
Considering the hole is because of ware. I am wondering if one could just add the plastic before the ware is caused by dragging it over pavement
Yeah I think I’m gonna take some milk jugs and weld them to the contact points after I fix the holes in them so they’re nice and skrong
Nice video! I love the step by step instructions. Thanks!
Good idea but I'd like to have seen the final result.
Really helpful thanks. Didn’t know how to find out the right kind of plastic ! Awesome.
That's great...no special tools needed...i didn't try ; it but looks like it should work on HDPE boats✔✔
I need to find a video showing how to reattach my kayak hull to the deck, both HDPE. It separated just for about 16", at the side of the cockpit. Tricky to get into the corners... Maybe a soldering gun?
Excellent how to video/ well spoken with no bs. Next time show final product even if it’s not perfect. Good work
New subscribers here from Trail Trash Outdoors! Thanks for the tips! Will be doing this with one of our kayaks this afternoon. Look forward to using this method or something similar and recording our experience! Much love new friend thanks for sharing!
Very nice, I wonder if a small amount of expanding foam could be used to support instead of dowel
remember friend, many forms of expanding foam will eventually absorb water when they've dried out... if for boat repair, use sparingly?!
The foam really won’t stick very well to the polyethylene, but you can use this to your advantage. If the area is accessible, you could just pull the foam out once the PE repair is complete. Closed cell foam kits are available, but they are considerably more expensive than home center spray foam products.
Thanks for the video Just patched mine up. I just melted plastic on and used my Soldering gun to smooth it out. Worked super well.
This chemical in a home oven will contaminate it for food cooking?
Good! quick and cheap!
A big hole in my paddle boat. This worked like magic. Thanks.
How big was the hole
i just spent the better part of the day struggling to do this. It never occurred to me to us an oven to preheat the patch. Ill be trying this tomorrow i think
very cool!
Nice job, great ideas
Thanks for the great tip on baking layers and the aluminum foil. I'll put that to use repairing my kayaks.
John Schulte have you tried this method? How did it turn out?

I'm 64, lifetime builder and fixer. Loved this video.
I'm going to do this right now on my daughters Mackinaw 156 Canoe. Googled it and confirmed HDPE by Sundolphin
Love the vid.
Professional vid
Nice ideas, but the edges look poorly adhered. Maybe surface prep the patch area with a wood rasp before applying patch?
Sandpaper...Don't overkill it.
I think the idea is more to get the two surfaces to an adequately almost molten state so they adhere on a molecular level. Sanding wouldn’t really do much as getting to that almost molten state would smooth out the grooves created by sanding.
great video! very good info.
Still lasting till this day
Very good idea. To take it into account. Thank you!
Wow, that is quite specific. Thanks for the good info and ideas for patchwork. The thought of repurposing recyclable plastics is a great idea.
Good job
did you take the screws out at any point?
Shit man. This is genius. I'm going to try it
Very helpful
Excellent
Gonna try in a day or 2
Dude that was very smart great job
It would be nice to see the finished job.👍👍
Stop complaining... u need to be spoon fed?
Yes! This video was perfect. Well done, and thank you!
Didnt work for me. Don't know what i did wrong , but my patch just fell off after i had it molded on. Ill just use flex seal and be done.
How did the flex seal work out?
Awesome
Thanks bub
And do not forget to bin your oven after you did this as the fumes from the melted plastic are there to stay and poison you
Thank you for this expert method! I feel the adhesion has to be very sturdy by heating the plastic in Oven
Сорт
Has anyone else tried this yet?
does your mother know you're cooking caustic materials in her oven:) Great video and demonstration.
Plastic isn't caustic.
use parchment paper, containment Ing plastic with cooking oils is stupid.
tu é muito inteligente 😨👍
tak terpikirkan sebelumnya ternyata ada yang lebih ekonomis dan praktis, brilian.
Milk jugs are hdpe
Use jb weld plastic....
actually little boy,most plastic kayaks and surf boards(commonly called sit on tops) are made fromm lldpe-linear liw density pe.
I just tried this didn't work worth a shit. the plastic didn't even adhere to the canoe and came right off after cooling. It didn't adhere to the canoe at all. sorry but this method doesn't work.
If it didn’t work, you didn’t do it right.
John Doe do you have a fiberglass canoe?
It is not the method, your canoe must not be HDPE. I have done this multiple times on Kayaks without issue.
John Doe I did this to my sons kayak that had a hole in it. So far it’s worked great. Maybe your canoe is made of fiberglass?
Same , and yes mine isa plastic pelican.
