What do you recommend for repairing the bottom of a "royalex" whitewater canoe, that has holes worn down to the foam core?
Everything I've tried, has continued to crack/break/peel off with use...nothing seems to stick very well to royalex...not even the special black 2-part royalex resin, that you can buy.

hair dryer is not going to help at all. get a heat gun.

This is good if you want to repair your carbon fibre/kevlar boat, with step by step stages - 'How to fix your canoe polo boat'
Hope this helps paddlers! :)

MnktoDave - Chris also mentioned "I have installed 20+ skid plate kits on royalex canoes over the last ten years and have had very good results with the kits sticking like they should. The bad part is these kits are three times more expensive than G-flex if you only have a small area to repair."

When using these epoxies on plastic you have to follow the instructions to the letter. Some
epoxies for example call for flashing the surface with a flame. If you were
to skip any steps the epoxy will fail. You also have to know that with
plastics, you are working with a material that is very difficult get good
adhesion with any epoxy."
Hopefully this helps! All the best!

We've circulated your question around the office and believe that we came up with a helpful response from Chris M. (our favorite boat repair guru). He offered the following:
"It all depends on the condition of the plastic. If it's chalky and
oxidized from UV damage not much is going to stick. If the "royalex resin"
does not work another option would be to try West System's G-Flex epoxy with
some fiberglass mat or cloth. (G-flex is made for plastics) ... continued ....
