The Felt Store Kevlar® Felt Canoe Skid Plates – Canoe Hull Protection Kit for Bow & Stern, Cut & Abrasion Resistant Kevlar Felt, Canoe & Kayak Repair Accessory for Paddling & Camping Season, 2 Pieces

The precut keel and stern patches worked out very well ! ! !

Easy to install and works well.

These worked great! I actually added some black graphite to the epoxy when I laid these on and it looks pretty slick. These will definitely do the job and the price was great.

Application was "sticky" but manageable. End product appears to be durable. I'll know better after my first canoe trip.

We used the felt and G-flex epoxy to make repairs on an old canoe. The combination did the job! The felt and epoxy combine to make a really solid repair.

It’s a bit of a messy job and a half but these skid plates did the job.. as intended. These are less expensive than many places you’ll find them and exactly the same thing. Difficult to be much different! Lol. Worked great!

I put these on a northstar canoe (Kevlar equivalent) with gel-coat. I used g-flex epoxy as some recommended and added pigment (darker green) to the epoxy so they would stand out a little less. It was NOT easy to work the epoxy into the kevlar skid pad mats and get on smoothly. It came out well, but seemed way harder than I would have expected to get to setup well and on very smoothly. I rolled it when part cured and that helped a lot. The texture of the skid pad is a bit fuzzy. Functionally speaking, it performs super well and protects the canoe. But I was wanting it to sit more flat for less perturbation of the water flow. The end result was not bad, but not as good as I hoped for with careful effort. I did not sand or recoat.

I used the kevlar pad to reinforce the bottom leading edge on my sailboats keep. The kevlar pad is is like felt and was easy to mold to the keels shape. It adds tremendous strength to this venerable area of my boat.
