canoe repair question - need help!

I want to fix it myself, pretty sure that it is doable, as most of the damage is cracked / missing fibreglass. I've spent the last hour googling fibreglass repair, but cant find much in the way of comprehensive DIY fibreglass repair. It's and old boat, but quite stable and very useable, I'd like to fix it myself but if I have to I'll take it to a repair shop. There are some pictures of it on http://howtofixthings.net/canoe.html that show the areas that need repair and the extent of the damage. Is it adviseable to tackle this myself, if so, does anyone here know a good online resource that can get me started with DIY fibreglass repair? Or should I just take it in and get it done professionaly? (there are no boat shops within 220 kms of me) A lot depends on how much time you have. If you're in a hurry, you'd probably be better off to have it done professionally. If you have the time to learn as you go, do it yourself. I've got a couple of albums on fiberglass and gelcoat repair on Webshots that should be enough to get you started. They're at: http://community.webshots.com/user/brian_nystrom-reg thanks! I'll check them out.. |
