2024年8月12日 · Has anyone tried to apply PVC keel guard tape to their kayak? I have a fiberglass sea kayak that I was considering trying it on but see some reviews re it being hard to get it to lay flat and to fully adhere at the edges. (I have a 16 1/2 ft boat and wanted to apply something the entire length. I did read the old posts about keel protecters where some folks …

2018年6月19日 · Ok, follow up. I talked with a few sources, including Gator Guard and Austin Kayak: The patch / keel guard will stick to all plastics except polypropelene. It will bond with polyethylene. The bond will hold permanently. The product will get chewed up hitting rocks and will wear away if you drag it over concrete (duh).

2009年7月12日 · Anyone know the name of the stuff you can put on the Hull or Keel of kayak that protects it from impossible to avoid rock and sand impact. It looks somewhat like black tape I think?/??? In addition does anyone know if its a bad idea in that it could slow the boat down to a noticeable rate. Can it be removed ever? I would like to put it on my much loved Current …

2009年7月20日 · There isn’t anything that you can easily stick on your boat that’s going to protect it well. I’ve tried tapes and I looked at Keel Guard, but it’s really thick (~1/4") and obviously designed for “big boats”. A fiberglass keel strip is a common solution. A less common one is to have someone apply spray-on pickup truck bed liner material.

2019年2月21日 · Many decades ago we gouged the bow keel of an ancient canoe badly on a rock in the middle of a 4 day paddle camping trip. It was an old wooden canoe that had been fiberglassed over where the canvas had once been. A big enough chunk was knocked out that we had to either stop and patch or dedicate one paddler to constantly bailing.

-- Last Updated: Apr-20-15 8:28 AM EST -- I'm thinking of using Gorilla tape to put a 10" strip of bicycle inner tuber on the rear keel. Purpose is to protect the keel while loading the kayak from the rear, since it must rest on the pavement. I now use a carpet but I think a keel protector would be easier and more effective. How much might this impact the speed of the kayak? Or what do …

2009年10月1日 · Kevlar makes a terrible keel strip. It fuzzes rather than wearing smooth. If you need a keel strip, glass is much better. Probably your kayak will not be pure Kevlar. Usually glass or carbon is used for the outer layer because Kevlar is not particularly strong in compression, and as I said, fuzzes when it wears.
