Default What to do with an injured canoe?

IIRC, the problem with this is, like welding aluminum, the CL3 plastic has a
narrow heat reaction threshold: not enough heat and nothing happens; a bit
too much and you have cheeseburger runoff.
But aluminum is welded all the time now, with retail equipment that lets
amateurs weld pop cans together, so I'm sure there is a way. I'd be
inclined to borrow my neighbor's CL3 boat to experiment on first.

Ahh, right. I think I've heard that you can repair Crosslink if you
heat it up with a torch first and apply the glass to the hot surface,
as the heat breaks enough of the bonds and allows the fiberglass to
chemically bond to the surface. Has anyone else heard of this? Mike?
