Thanks! Most kayaks are a type of polyethylene (PE). We recommend using LDPE rod to repair kayaks rather than HDPE rod because its melting temperature is lower and it is easier to work with. But you can use HDPE rod if you would like.
@@polyvancehey guys, I’m not sure if you will respond as this video is a year old, but I just bought a new kayak without a receipt and the welds holding the top of the kayak to the bottom separated in a small part near the front, any tips ?
They are all different types of plastic. PP = Polypropylene PE = Polyethylene ABS = Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene PVC = Polyvinyl Chloride PP and PE are semi-flexible plastics. ABS and PVC are rigid plastics. More info: www.polyvance.com/identify.php
Yes, if it is polyethylene. If you have a lot of damage, you might want to check out the Agricultural Plastic Welding Kit, which includes both a hot air welder and the airless plastic welder. Using the hot air welder will make the repair faster. www.polyvance.com/Hot-Air-Welders-1/5213/

What materials you use to repair your kayak?
We used Polyvance's KCWPRO with LDPE welding rod. www.polyvance.com/Airless-Welders-1/KCWPRO/
Nice repair :) kayaks are made of HDPE right ?
