Werner doesn't stand behind its paddles
UV exposure can degrade paddle shaft materials, so I don't blame Werner
for not covering this under warranty. The good news is that it can be repaired. There are several ways to address this problem. The first thing you need to do is to lightly wet sand the shaft with 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper to remove any loose fibers. Once you've done that, you can either apply the shink material that Werner provides or you can coat the shaft with something. You could just use paddle or surfboard wax as was suggested elsewhere, but since the resin matrix is already degraded, it would probably be wise to protect it more than wax can. You can buy spray clearcoat if you like the original color or you can paint it if you want a new look. |
