My scrubber pro kayak slipped out of its tie downs and was dragged down the freeway a little. The rear keel was ground down at a 45 degree angle. A lot odf materal was removed but no hole. Can i build it up with plasic weld or some other material? I just got the kayak last week any help would be appreciated. Thamk you

If there is no hole and not scary thin, just leave it as is and keep an eye on it for any additional wear. sometimes attempting to weld thin plastic creates a big problem. You could apply an adhesive keel guard or even JB Weld to give you a wear indicator.

Can try the gator guard to add a layer and protect that area. I’ve used this on my kayak and it’s rock solid.
