What activity do you use this for? Kayaking

Location Sway, Hampshire but the Kayak is in Cornwall.

“Simple and easy to use pack, with the two tube syringe taking some of the guesswork out of mixing. A slighly mobile mix that will stay in place but flow enough to give a smooth surfce. I bought this hoping to use it to plug a small hole in a polyethylene kayak and it is well known that 'nothing sticks to polyethylene'. So far, I have only got to the testing stage, trying the epoxy on scrap but firm polyethylene bottles. It seems that it sticks well (see below) if the surface is flame treated but somewhat worse if it is cleaned with methylated spirit but not flame treated. To define my judgement above; Without flame trestment I could, with difficulty, pick a sample off the surfsce with my fingernails (though it sticks noticesbly better than standard DIY store epoxies I tried). With flame treatment I could not remove it with fingernails but have not tried any more aggressive techniques. This is the best I have found and will use it on the kayak repair when the weather warms up.”
