JB weld for hull protection?

(1/5) > >>

The X Inn Keeper:
I've heard of people using JB weld to protect the bottom of their yaks from wear.
What is your thoughts on this?
and,
which JB to use?
Thanks for any input/info.

I've been using JB Weld (Kwik Weld) on my yaks for years, and it's prevented wear on the hull bow/stern as I load/unload my yak from the roof rack.  It's awesome, and I hardly have a need to re-apply it. 

Chet:
I have. It is amazing how strong that thing is to abrasion.
The original JB weld.

NowhereMan:
This stuff is kind of spendy, but it works great to protect the hull, and has lots of other uses:
