I need to protect the bottom of my kayak that rests on a 2" wide metal bar. Will this stuff add a little cushioning to the bar without tearing?

I personally don't like this stuff it's messy but it's not the rubber your thinking of it's like bubbly stuff that seems to never stay then when it does it tears

I doubt it will, this stuff is really runny and would not stick to anything. I had 2 cans and neither one worked the way it was suppose to.

I used it to seal rain gutters. It may add a little protection to the bottom of Kayak. There is probably better products for what you are looking. Check your hardware store.

You could try it. The color may fade quickly. The issue may be if it will stay in place and not slip away, so it depends on the surface underneath. It would soften the landing!

Mine is installed indoors but to 2nd question - I see no need for extra padding for my polyethylene kayak. It's a great space saver for 2 kayaks. My wife and I can lift a 12' kayak to the upper rack ~ 5' above floor and I can load and raise a 2nd 12' kayak to 3.5' off the floor by myself. If you feel the need for extra padding you can easily add foam pipe insulation - knowing that it would trap moisture and might tear.

It might help but I wouldn't buy this. All it is, is funny cut foam rubber. Go to your fabric store and buy some 2 inch thick foam rubber.

This should do a nice job of securing your Kayak. Additional ties make for a good backup depending on the length of your Yak and the speed you drive.

Hi Deborah-- I don't really know the answer to your question for certain, but I don't see why it wouldn't brighten up a colored plastic. Even if it wasn't perfect, there is a good chance it would improve the look. THe material (polish) isn't black, so it's not like it would colorize the kayak.Rich

Yes it would be perfect. This product protects against the UV rays which damage plastics. I use it on a lot of things including my Kayak. Great product.

I used it on the bottom of my aluminum pram (boat) so it would protect it and slide over rocks. It is slippery and you could add sand in my opinion for traction. Good luck

distress caused by shock, vibration, swelling or shrinking is effectively absorbed. Check the bonding and sealing jobs this product can handle for you: fiberglass deck to fiberglass hull, wood to fiberglass, portholes and deck fittings, motors on fiberglass transoms, under mouldings, hull seams above and below water line. Center board trunk joints. Between struts and planking. Stern joints. Deck housing, etc. Easy to apply with manual caulking gun. Won't sag or flow in vertical or horizontal seams. Nothing noted from 3M about adhesion to metal; I suggest contacting the manufacturer directly at the 3M Marine Division Tech line 877-366-2746. Thank you for contacting the Bottom Paint Store.

My bar does not have a protective finish on it. When I use it I put a table runner on it and use coasters for the drinks. I think that putting an acrylic or polyurethane finish would be a great idea. I have also thought of purchasing a 'plexiglass" piece to but on the top. I hope that this helps.

Absolutely! I used in on the bottom of my kayak, which had two sizeable fractures in the hull.

Agree with CarolinaGirl's answer completely. Very durable & will protect the seats from liquids-- but my seats are leather, so it did slide around/bunch up a bit due to that. May grip cloth seats better.

PROBABLY - be careful bottom doesn't drag on bumps. Also add straps from each handlebar to roof rack (on something) to keep it from tipping over.

so far i have tried it on two things, a sit upon kayak that is molded plastic, I have been putting a few coats on it, so i dont know yet if it will keep the cracks from leaking. The second item is my pontoon boat, there were some tears in the vinyl seating. It is not working on those, they just keep opening up.

I will, but clearly not roll as smoothly as epoxy covered smooth concrete.A way around this is if you have some old cardboard boxes that you can put down. It protects the wheels, and your elbows, etc as you scoot around.

It might, but that's not what it's made for. This is not a rubber skirt like they use in white water kayaks. In an emergency it may let you roll, but I'd not depend on it on a regular basis

The upright bar is a metal tube with padding, one on each crossbar. Our biggest kayak is a two-person, and it works fine. Actually, I don't think wider would make any difference - once you have the feet adjusted, the kayak is cradled on its side and sits stable. The straps just pull it firmly to the crossbar in that position - the upright is lower than the kayak so that the strap pulls down on both sides.
