Post subject: | Heat gun?? |
Hi guys, Im looking at a heat gun to use as a plastic welder just in case the hull gets cracked some how Do you think this would be good enough- http://cgi.ebay.com.au/IRODA-FLAMELESS- ... 870wt_1137 Its portable & uses butane, I was thinking of putting it in an on board repair kit Of course you'd have to land somewhere to make any repairs Is this something we should consider or am I looking too far into this? Im looking at doing trips from several days/weeks so thought it would be a clever safety feature Thanks in advance |

Heat gun is a bold move and if done properly your repair in the field would be the only one needed. I like Marine Goop (24 hour dry time) and Duct Tape but then the patch has to be removed for a proper repair after the trip. It is also very ugly and messy to dig out. |
