Canoe Repair – The Show

Have you ever heard the frightening sound of a rock scraping the bottom of your canoe only to see water begin to appear in the bottom of your boat throughout the rest of your trip? Well we sure have over the years!! In this episode of BWCACAST we’ll show you how to patch up those holes with a little fiber glass.

Its really not as hard as you’d think and with this step by step guide you’ll be patching up your own canoe in no time. Jim walks you through cleaning the area, prepping the patch location, mixing the resin and applying the patch. We hope you find this episode helpful throughout your years of canoeing.

About Bill

I grew up in Alaska spending as much time outdoors as possible. Camping, hunting, and flying consumed much of my free time. Upon moving to Minnesota I found the BWCAW to be a place that allowed me to escape to the wilderness. I love being able to share this amazing place with all of you. I hope you enjoy the shows.

    Thanks for the patch information. I enjoy the pod casts, please keep them coming. I would ask that “how to” videos be included, such as resurfacing a kevlar canoe, fishing techniques, and camping/portaging tips. Perhaps they are there, and I just need to watch a few more. Thanks for your efforts.
