Canoecopia 2010 Comes to a Close

John Riggins — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:43:41 +0000

Well, as Rutabaga’s Canoecopia 2010 is about over and what a successful show it has been. The number of people that come to the show is amazaing. I guess with the cabin fever over taking people and the warmer weather upon us, the need to get back out on the water and start padding is overwhelming.

The show for Rec’Repair was great. The interest of people looking for ways to either repair or protect their canoe or kayak brings them to see our material.

Hopefully the attendance of the show and the interest shown in Rec’Repair is an indication that the outdoor industry is looking at a comeback.

Customer Review of Rec’Repair Skid Plates

John Riggins — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:51:16 +0000

Here’s feedback from a customer on the attributes of Rec’Repair’s Skid Plates:

You sent me a set of skid plates back on 11/18/2008. I also had a chance to meet and thank you at Canoecopia this past March. I got around to putting them on my Souris River Quetico 18.5 Kevlar canoe this fall.

It went very smoothly. I cut the pads down a bit with heavy scissors to get a custom pad and used a heat gun to achieve a great molded fit. I followed the supplied instructions on cleaning, sanding and used a throw away paint brush to spread the adhesive both on the canoe and the molded plate. I then used duct tape to keep pressure on the bond of the skid plate to the canoe. It came out great.

The biggest attribute of your skid plate for me was that it kept the integrity of my Kevlar by adding less than 14oz. for both plates – finished. Now that’s extraordinary when you realize the protection if gives, which is first rate. So in summing it up, it looks great, protects perfectively and keeps the weight of a Kevlar down better than any other plate on the market. I will be spreading the word on this product.

Thanks for everything.

Rec’Repair fixes Car Top Carriers

I wanted to share a letter that I received about the use of Rec’Repair.

Hi, John. I just wanted to let you know that we finally got around to repairing our pod this weekend (Thule cargo carrier). My husband said it was very easy to use Rec’Repair, and we hosed it down for a while to check how water proof it was. We consider it a success. Thank you! SB – South Berwick ME

These car top carriers are quite expensive, and this Rec’Repair order was less than $25.00.

With the ecomomy running a bit slow, we are seeing an increase in people searching for lower cost repair methods for their expensive equipment.

Gear Junkie Field Test Gives Rec’Repair High Marks

Gear Junkie reviewed our Emergency Kit and was impressed with the results. Thanks for the praises, guys!

Read the excerpt below and follow the link for the complete story.

Hole in your canoe? Cracked paddle blade? Broken pack frame? The Rec’Repair Emergency kit from CRG Industries ( www.recrepair.com ) promises to be an all-in-one, field-usable fix for these potentially trip-ruining calamities.

Last week I put it to the test to see if it could match its claims.

The heart of the kit is a rigid, heavyweight plastic patch with adhesive backing. When heated to about 200 degrees, it becomes rubbery and moldable, so it can be cut to size and formed around your broken gear. As soon as it cools, the adhesive sets and the patch hardens. read more>>

GetOut! Reviews Rec’Repair

Jen — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 21:04:05 +0000

Don’t let damaged equipment put an end to your expedition is the motto of Rec’Repair emergency repair kit, made by Dayton’s own CRG Industries. Rec’Repair is an adhesive patch that you heat and place on damaged gear such as boats, poles and coolers. When it cools “viola!” you have a patch that’s as tough as fiberglass. Think of it as duct tape on steroids. read more>>
