I'll have to try this out on a small area and if it works well I might do the whole keel of my x factors. Won't add too much weight but the added protection would be well worth it.

I haven't used it on a yak yet but I have repaired many of those plastic K-Rails " those barricade things you see to control traffic" here at my Equipment Yard. They are rotomolded and made of the same type of plastic.(polypropolyne) These things get hit, dropped, filled with 60-70 gallons of water and the repairs haven't failed yet. Scuffing the area helps though.
Just my 2 cents
