| The KC Welder Pro has an 80 Watt element, flat tip and a 3/16 in. hole in tip for repair rod insertion. Includes a selection of Hobie color welding rods. Fix holes and cracks or customize polyethylene products. Insert the rod into the tip and place against the product to be welded. The tip heats the plastic surface and the rod. As the materials melt, move the tip along the repair area while pushing the rod into the tip to fill the repair area with new plastic material. Plug small holes after moving accessories. Rebuild keels after excessive wear from dragging. | |||||||||

| Review: | A nice product, easy to use, with a result that formed a very strong patch in a difficult location (where the internal framing member is joined to the keel of the kayak). Note to self - no fat friends in the front seat in low river conditions. Instructions on usage would be nice (i.e. insert the rod through the channel on the heating head. Choice of colors would also be nice (I needed white, got a mixed bag). Online resources suggest a mesh would be included. It isn't although it turned out the aluminum screening patch I bought for the purpose was unnecessary. Somewhat expensive but it did the trick when other expedients failed. And good service from ACK. | ||||||||||

| Review: | The welding kit works extremely well. The problem is that they do not include enough plastic rods or allow you to choose the colours that you need. For example, if all your kayaks are blue you will still get a mixed assortment of colours in the kit. | ||||||||||

| Review: | A great tool, and yes, I agree that it does get very hot. Before using it on my boat, I practiced on a few scrap pieces and promptly smoked 'em. With that lesson, I worked with great caution and everything came out looking like a factory finish. Additionally, the tip can be unscrewed and other homemade tips added for greater versatility. Examples: a flathead/roundhead screw; moreover, a properly sized bolt screwed into the tip will melt a decent hex-shaped hole, or even let you permanently mount said bolt as a stud embedded in the hull (provided you press the bolt in while hot, maintain position, unplug the welder to let it and the plastic cool, then unscrew the welder from the bolt). Overall, a great tool that will let you do lots of repairs and mods. | ||||||||||
