Consumer Plastic Repair Examples

Kayak Transom Repair

Original damage

Transom was cracked from using a gas motor on this kayak.

Crack sealed

Holes were drilled to stop the propagation of the crack.  HDPE welding rod was used to make the hull water tight again

New transom added

A piece of marine grade 3/8″ HDPE was fitted and welded into place to ensure the transom does not have any further problems

Yacht Fresh Water Tank Repair

Original damage

This is a close-up of a 150 gallon fresh water tank from a yacht.  The tank was T shaped to utilize the available space within the hull.  Through many years of flexing the stress crack above formed.  Crack propagation holes were drilled at the ends of all of the cracks before it was welded.

Water tight repair complete

The manufacture of the tank had discontinued manufacturing this particular tank so a direct replacement was not an option.  The original tank was roto-molded from LMDPE.  Due to the branches within the crack, extra margin was added to the weld to ensure a complete water tight repair.

Industrial Plastic Repair Examples
