  I've seen repairs with solder irons and torches in the past,,, they were'n't pretty.

Hey hey hey.....It all depends on the operator.  :smt002 :smt003

IMOP The soldering/plastic iron welding method is extremely effective, strong, and clean. The black lines on the pictures below show the repaired area I completed on that kayak (scupper crack/ bottom half of keel missing). Currently I also have 3 friends kayaks that need repair which I can post up my iron method and repair progression photos of those once I start for anyone who would like to see them.
