& Canoe Repairs
We do many and varied repairs to polyethylene ciaks and canoes.
These craft are normally made of l.l.d.p.e (linear low density polyethylene) and are made in a
rotomould. The welding of l.l.p.e is quite difficult as unlike most plastics it cannot be welded
with itself.
We have the correct welding rods to effect these repairs and usually in the desired colours.
We welded 6 mm thick plates to a fleet of hire ciaks that were being dragged up the beach by
customers and had developed holes in the keels from this constant wear.
This was the only way the ciaks could be salvaged and this customer was relieved that they could be
repaired rather than replacing them at great cost.
Repairs to six kayak were cheaper than the
replacement of only one kayak and also much more environmentally friendly!
