You can see in the pic that a bit of the flotation chamber has begun to pull away on my Souris River Q17. Is there a preferred epoxy or other method to reattach it? Many Thanks, and my apologies if this has been covered in prior posts.

I used to run a composite repair shop. We never did canoes, but did work on stuff that went on jets. Grain of salt though, I was just the manager, never really hands on.


The best answer is probably reach out to the manufacturer and ask what they recommend. Besides that though, looks like a really simple repair and most epoxies should work fine. Probably want to stay away from the 5-minute stuff that comes with the little plungers. My guys used to swear by West Systems for what that's worth.
