emergency underwater grp repair kit

[tcm]

I am trying to find a supplier of a kit of things that allows one to repair a leak in grp (or other material) whilst wet.

I used the contents of the first kit for a leaky ruddder post, very effective. I biought the kit at a boat show, haven't got the bits here but i remeber it has no adress details. Called something like "boat doctor", in a blue plastic case. It's essentially a two-part pack of gungy chemcials, and the mixed grey gloop is then slapped on a fabric backing, and elmintes the leak. Very good stuff. The key thing is that the item does not need to be dry before attaching - hence could stop a boat from sinking. From experience - the area around the leak needs roughing with sandpaper first - hence why i eventualy used the whole lot instead of just a bit!

cheers for any help.

I think Plastimo list the kit in their catalogue.

G'day tcm,

Have a talk to your local plumbing supplier, they have a product that fits your description, and another that has the goop an a bandage, just wet it and set it; I think it's Fropia in the trade.

Hope this helps...

I remember it was a Frenchman selling it at the boatshow, I'm sure I saw it since in Plastimos book but when I looked yesterday in the copy I keep on board I couldn't find it. Maybe in one of the French chandlery books so I'll keep looking...
