Bliss-Stick Plastic Test

Ever wonder about your whitewater kayaks plastic? Strength, durability, welding capabilities, recyclable? We have.

This was a plastic test done on the shell of a SCUD that was damaged in shipping and was never paddled. The SCUD shell has been sitting outside for one year, fully exposed to all elements, starting December 2007. There were several days this past summer it hit well over 100ºF sitting on black asphalt. No bubbles, thin spots or fading whatsoever.

To conclude the test we decided to pick 4 days in the last month (NOV 2008) to put it to the test and those four days turned out to be some cold days.

1st day: 11/16/08, 33.3ºF
2nd day: 11/18/08, 26.1ºF
3rd day: 11/19/08, 28.4ºF
4th day: 11/22/08, 11.8ºF

We will let the video speak for itself.

Just FYI.... The shipping company tried to move it with a forklift and poked it pretty good. But even that didn't go all the way through!
