on your next repair i would try chopping some glass cloth into short (1/2″ to 1″) strands to mix into the resin as filler. it will make a stronger fill material and the bond will be less likely to crack from future shocks. ideally you want to put multiple layers (3 to 5 on this small of a boat) of glass with each patch getting progressively larger by about 1″ around the edges. that will require sanding away layers of old glass to avoid getting a weak spot and/or bulging patch. looks nice tho

@Thermos017 The glass beads work real well. I am impressed by epoxy. It is high tech stuff. I think this patch will be strong as it is. I had thought about reinforcing the entire boat, but it is just a dingy and those hard chines will always be a weak spot. My other dingy has a nice rounded form and is amazingly durable.

@vivitar45 I have to admit I too put values on things. My time is worth something I guess. It depends on how you look at it. If I hadn’t done this repair and made this video I’d have done something else. Would that something else be more valuable? I know you are talking money and like I said I put value on things. I named my other little boat “Gettingthere”.

Impressive. Nice work. I myself am repairing a canoe that I bought second hand the other day. I will use your method of repair a fiberglas boat. Thank you for all of the good tips.
