Quick Fix repair to a Fiberglass Canoe.......

So Im working a SAR case and end up with this canoe. Looks like somebody scratched up the bottom and in the middle of the keel there is a hairline crack that goes through. Not a structural leak but not watertight anymore.

Do I rough up the glass and put a few long strips of fiberglass and re-coat it. Or buy an appoxy type of paint that will fill the cracks and seal it?



I know this is the viper alley but you guys seem to be full of trivial information.

Cross cover the fiber glass cloth also.

Will the fiberglass stick to the bottom?
