In Response To: S&G: Car + kayak pieces = not good, advice please *PIC* (Jerry S)

: About 3 months ago, I pulled into the garage...a little too close
: to the stack of strips for my WD Solace 17EX. About 4 years ago
: I got as far as opening the box and epoxing the panels together
: to make them "long". You know, like step 1. I had them
: stacked on bricks on the floor. The picture below is from my
: camera...so it is bad...but I think you get the jist of the
: tragedy. (I took the picture after I put the pile on top of a
: ladder hanging on the wall, so it is a shot from below.) The
: break is roughly a 4" x 4" area. (The top has a large
: black smudge from the tire too. arrggghh!) I was so upset when I
: did it...I've had time to calm down now.

: So, is this something that I should replace that section, either
: just the small area, or try to get a whole new panel section? Is
: there a crazy way to make a repair? Any ideas and advice would
: be greatly appreciated. This is my first build, so I have no
: frame of reference as to what can be salvaged.

: Thanks,
: Jerry S

Hehehe..... fun, isn't it? The satan wrap comment (I thought it was intentional) brought to mind that perhaps *someone* was prompting you to get the lead out and finish that boat! (what's up with that?)

Just a thought, but I'd consider leaving the tire tracks as a 'feature' and conversation starter.
