Surface Scratch Repair on Carbonlite Kayaks
Light to moderate surface scratches on Carbonlite kayak decks
and hulls can be repaired in the following manner:
The procedures begin with the most gentle treatment and move
to more a aggressive and detailed process. Start anywhere
down the list and move up the list until you are happy with the
result.
1. Apply a plastic polishing compound such as Meguiars #10,
usually available from an automotive or Marine supply. Then
apply a wax like Mequiars #52.
2. Use an electric buffing pad on a drill to apply a polishing
compound such as 3M Finesse, or any other marine polishing
compound. If satisfied with the finish, just apply wax. Otherwise
proceed with step 3.
3. Wet sand the area with 800 grit or 1200 grit paper depending
on the severity of the scratches. 800 grit is for heavier scratches
and may be followed with the 1200 grit to produce a finer finish.
Proceed to step 2.
4. Alternative
: To fill deeper scratches, (not gouges) or simply
to save time, wet sand lightly, then spray the area with a clear
acrylic lacquer such as Krylon. This dries very quickly.
You may be happy with the finish at this time or you can wet
sand again, spray again and so on until you have reached the
desired result.
Cuts and Gouges: Procedures
1. Clean and dry the damaged area.
2. Use a razor blade or knife to remove burrs or chips.
3. Mix a small amount of adhesive and apply just enough
to fill the area to the surface.
4. Stretch a piece of saran wrap or plastic over the material
and smooth out with finger (optional).
Remove after
everything is dry. It can help produce a smooth surface.
5. Allow to cure until hard (can be handled in one hour or
sooner, full strength in 24 hours).
6. If needed lightly wet sand with 400 grit, polish with a
buffer or compound.
7. You can spray area with a high gloss acrylic spray paint
if you wish.
