Spare Plastic
OEX: I'm looking for spare plastic for my Trident. Is there
any available for an orange Trident? I'd like just a small square in case I need to make any repairs during my trip. I've done plastic kayak repairs before, but if anyone has any tips for fixing kayak holes that would be viable for taking along on my trip, I'd like to hear them. These kayaks are pretty durable, but you never know... Thanks, Dave

Yep, I've got orange scrap at the mission bay store. You also might want to pick up a tube of patch n go.
Best way to repair on the fly is with a small torch and flat head screwdriver. Heat the screwdriver to use as a soldering iron, and use the torch as...uh...a torch...

The duct tape works just fine, The more you wrap on, the bigger it gets, sometimes I bring two rolls.

Thanks for the tip with the screw driver. I've done it before,
but at home I used an iron. I'll stop by the shop this weekend... ...after going to the SquidCo sale, of course!
