Hot Tip!
- Many plastics, especially polyethylene, which is used in making roto-molded kayaks, have very low surface energy. This make them have very poor adhesion qualities.
- You can change the surface energy temporarily so that tape, decals, or anything else you may want to stick to your kayak or paddle blade will stick better.
- This is done with flame treating. With a small propane torch, pass the flame over the area you want to treat.
- The plastic does not have to get hot so keep the flame 4 or 5 inches from the plastic.
- In just a few seconds the flame treatment will have significantly raise the surface energy of the plastic and it's ability to accept adhesives will be greatly increased. The change is temporary, so application should be done immediately after treatment.
