Kayak welding is not hard at all. You can do it with a common soildering iron from a home center. Be sure to clean it very good before starting. make a "v" grove for the new material. Most people will drill a small hole at the ends of the cracks to stop them from spreading. Then jus slowly fill in the gap with the rod material. Most manufacturers will send you repair material for free. They get it from cut outs.

Go to urethanesupply.com. They have very good instructions and all the materials you would ever need. Just go slow and take your time. It's easy.
