Polishing Hull of Proangler - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've used my heat gun several times and it works pretty good for smoothing out rough areas and bring back the gloss. Easier to use, but not as fast as a propane torch.

I don't think a hair dryer will get hot enough to be effective.

They make a product called Plastic Renew for motorcycle/atv fenders. I imagine that it would work well on kayaks.
