Inverseyourself Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Barnacles were out in force last weekend and I found them with my Explorer's (HV) keel strip. The outer layer is off in one place and there is a foam-like, softish core exposed now. I am naturally lazy when it comes to repairs and am wondering whether 2 layers of Gorilla tape over the ~2 inches in length of exposed "keel strip guts" will do. I am not sure how the keel strip is put on a kayak, most importantly, whether it is put on the intact gelcoat surface or whether there is a chance of communication of the keel-strip interior with un-gelcoated fiberglass. I would think that former is the case and therefore 2 layers of Gorilla should work but am looking for the opinion of more experienced boat-people. Thanks!
