Stress cracks.

Post by Big Block Power »

I know allot of us have newer boats, but all boats can get stress cracks. I just wanted to pass this along. I thought I would try this product to see how it works. I am pretty happy with it. Very easy to use. I used snow white and matched very well.It is Magicfix Ezy Hairline Fix

Before and after.
I used it in other places as well but couldn't get good pictures of it. The small tube you get goes a long way.

On my black boat on the swim platform I had a weird spot that looked like someone ran a screw from the bottom side and pushed up through the top and put small cracks in it. I used this stuff and bam it's gone. I will tell you on textured surface it's amazing. I wish I took pictures before and after but I didn't. Very happy with this product for what it is.

I have yet to see a boat without stress cracks... My boat had one at the stern starboard corner when I got it at 22 hours. It started out at 3" and has grown to about 6". I looked into having it addressed under warranty, but came away with the feeling the fix would be more noticeable than just living with it. Since, I've notice a few more, but all very minor. Just prt of owning a fiberglass boat. :)

I would buy this stuff and put it on there. The longer it stays in them dry the better it bonds. Never know it may stop the spread. Yea if you don't want to drill the end of it and gel it up it's worth a try. I've been lucky a 50 50 split with a boat that gets them.
