I haven't used it on this boat but it's my understanding that ropelene is polyethylene.This is what kayaks are made from and yes, they can be repaired.

Yes it works great - I have done this kind of repair... Many kayaks are also made of the same materials. There are vids on youtube showing how to do the work.The kit also comes with fiberflex strips which work on most any plastic. It is a real good idea to watch the vid on that CD or is it a dvd, hmmm... anyhow watch it before you try fixing your boat. If you are in or near St Pete I will show you how if you want.

At any boat shop you can pick up the rubber contact cement that is recommended for this. Just let them know what you are try to do, unless they can do the ultrasonic weld on the area for you.

Sorry, never used it for that. I use it for all interior plastic/vinyl, and just started trying it out on the tires.I bet you can get it cheaper at WalMart though....

I used it on my full canvas enclosure on my boat which has the large clear plastic windows. They were cloudy and perhaps moldy. This product made them like new. I was very impressed.

I used it for a custom motorcycle seat. It is a very thick, heavy grade vinyl, so I would say it should work fine for marine application.

I used it to repair a 2 inch slice in and aluminum boat. It worked perfect for that endeavor. I see no rust on the repair and there was no rust on the damaged part of boat.

That's a hard one to answer. I've played around with the "slippery-bendy" type plastic that they use for things like ATV fenders and recycling bins and that is probably not the type of plastic that this would repair. I would look for some kind of plastic repair kit or plastic "welding" kit that involves a hot iron for that repair. I used the fiberglass repair kit on an old Jeep CJ-7 hard-top and it worked better than I could have imagined. After the patch cured, I sanded the edges smooth and painted it. No leaks and it takes the vibrations fine. Sorry that I couldn't be more direct with the answer for you. Good luck. That's a hard one to answer.

Yes. I've used barge to adhere fabric to foam rubber for some costume work. Think of it as the most bad ass rubber cement that exists. Do remember to use a ventilated area to do your work and gloves as well.

I have not used it on my Keelshield but have used it on numerous items on my boat including my t-top .....it is great stuff!

I use 10% bleach solution to clean mold off my boat cover, and I assume it would easily work here as well. Note that you should rinse it thoroughly after cleaning - that way it doesn't further erode the material. Good luck!

I've had great luck with Raptor on aluminum and steel, but I've never tried it on plastic. U-Pol's customer service is excellent. If you send a question through the U-Pol website (http://www.u-pol.co.uk/), you'll get an answer right away. Good luck.

I haven't tried it with plastic. The manufacturer recommended metal so that is what I use.

Thanks anyway. I found the item at West Marine and was not inclined to use. (Not heavy enough for me) I'm going to fiberglass and reuse the bronze/brass fitting that came with boat which is in perfect condition.

Be sure to get the plastic tape and it will last. I had lables on my boat for years. Paper won't
