I have two Funyaks. Both of them have holes/cracks on the bottom of

They worked for a couple of years but recently one of the patches came
off. Since they are made of polyethelyene the fiberglass doesn't have
a good bond. Does anyone know how to patch these boats? I will
appreciate any suggestions.


Oak Orchard sells a repair kit that states:

THIS IS THE ONLY REPAIR KIT THAT WORKS ON POLYETHYLENE CANOES OR
KAYAKS. (aka: polylink3, crosslink3, triple tough, SP3, RamX, poly,
etc.) If you're not sure what kind of "plastic" your canoe or kayak is
made of you better use this kit to be safe.

I've patched a couple of poly barrels using the melted milk jug trick,
one had a pretty large hole in it, but I got them patched and they have
been holding water for 6 years now.

To me, it looks like hype meant to sell grossly overpriced repair kits.
