How do you repair cracked ribs on a kevlar canoe? Souris River Quetico 18.5, to be exact.
Thanks

A picture would help but assuming you can kind of push it into its original shape, epoxy and fibreglass should do it.

The SR factory folks are very helpful in offering advice. Call and ask for Wayne.

Great page. Sources are dead links IIRC- MAS and Noahs. West Marine and Raka are two good sources for both glass and resin - and advice.
