TIDY CAT LITTER BUCKET SHOULD MATCH WELL I USE THEM ICE FISHING THERE SQUARE AND FIT IN ICE SHANTY BETTER AND YOU CAN ALSO USE A SOLDER GUN TO HEAT AND SMEAR YOUR PLASTIC

Go to a truck stop and find the corner keepers, all colors. These are all over the highway for free !

I don’t have a heat gun but I have a torch. Would the torch work if I was careful to not heat it too much?

30milesOut - 5 years ago

yes my buddy zoffinger (youtube) does a lot of yak plastic work with a tourch... he also uses PVC pipe for the plastic molding.

If you keep your heat gun close to the repair spot as you're heating up your plastic when you lay it down it will actually bond with the plastic better.. a method I use for.larger real holes Is the melted cheese method. Lay it over the hole heat it until it sinks inside. The pull the original material over the fillerand basically weld it back together for a solid fix.

edwin jousma - 7 years ago

jethrowomber - 7 years ago

thanks my lady just hit a low unseeable brick wall but luckily it just pushed a small chunk up so i just heated it and pushed it back into the hole

bfgivmfith - 7 years ago

Right on! Thanks!

Bryan Palmer - 7 years ago

Don't laugh but I melted a plastic Tupperware dish over the cut and let it drip into the crack. Waited a day and applied marine putty to it. 3 years now no leaks.

instead of a screw driver use a puddy knife.

30milesOut - 8 years ago

Good to know, thanks! While hot try a piece of wax paper over top to smith it out, might make a better finish product

Ratdog 305 - 8 years ago

I think a small putty knife would give a smoother spread

30milesOut - 8 years ago

yep . just got one... we were in a hurry when we did this... next round will be better.. still yak is major water proof.

Frenchs mustard bottles work good to - same color

Sauder D Archer - 7 years ago

Dude! I did my first kayak fix with a Frenches Mustard bottle.. like two weeks ago! lol I've taken to say slap a little mustard on that when referring to kayak repairs. :)

30milesOut - 8 years ago

ahhhhhhhh ! great idea!!!!!

charles everett - 8 years ago

I have yellow buckets almost the same color at my transmission shop here in Aransas

30milesOut - 8 years ago

sweet~!

Niko Anagnostou - 8 years ago

Hey Ty think u need to holla at Marty for a better finished product. Hahaha going to try it out though...

30milesOut - 8 years ago

he's the diy, make it pretty king... I'm the , if it works , STOP guy!

Kevin Andry - 8 years ago

I thought you would have cleaned your plastic before welding it on there. Nice job, otherwise. Maybe try using a putty knife instead of a screwdriver?

alex fryntov - 6 years ago

It is bullshit! Plastic is not a metal and does not conduct electricity. When you head and melt plastic, an electrical charge will be collected on the surface. Thiis effect is called "surface polarization".

30milesOut - 8 years ago

good ideas... holding good tho.

robertintexas - 8 years ago

Ty, will that plastic sand smooth with a fine grit sandpaper?

30milesOut - 8 years ago

yes sir! then u can heat up the yellow again to smooth out the scratches...

Michael Fuentes - 8 years ago

Hobie also sales a kit with plastic sticks and a soldering iron to patch their kayaks. Also when rigging your kayak, save the shavings from all the holes you drill. You can use that to patch holes. I have a zip lock bag full of shavings and have used a lot of it to fill in holes left from removing factory hardware. It looks like nothing was ever there.

BAM! good tips
