Nope, no lap sealant. Totally eliminates the need.

You know.. Eternabond is white. I wouldn't have any worries at all just throwing a square of that over the damage, and never thinking about it again. I am removing all the Dicor on top of the Lance, and replacing it with 4" wide Eternabond right now.

I am an avid canoer, have built and repaired fiberglass and wood canoes for 40 years.  the boat in our picture is a wood strip canoe that we built. I have a lot of experience with patching/repairing fiberglass.

The fiberglass repair kits are the way to go.  West Systems makes a very nice kit that has everything you need. Here is a source

I don't know how many dents you need to repair, so the volume of materials will have to be decided.  Buy one kit, follow the instructions carefully and it will work. Then you can determine if that is the right thing to do.

Wash the repair area well.  Mask around the repair area with a good quality painters tape and newspaper to stop spills or runs. Sand the area around the repair to lightly scuff it and give it a small amount of texture.  sand about 1" beyond the repair area. clean the area sparingly with acetone. fill the dent with epoxy putty until it is level.  after  it is dry, apply the fiberglass patch.  Generally there are 2 tubes-the resin and the hardner.  mix them together per the instructions, brush a coat lightly on the pod skin and saturate the fiberglass repair patch.  It works best to work on waxed paper so things don't stick.  apply the patch and work out any creases or air bubbles. make it as smooth as possible.  then cover the area with tightly stretched saran rap. again smooth everything and then tape the edges to keep the saran tight.  the saran texture is your final finish when it dries.  it pays to smooth it as much as possible.  after the epoxy dries, pull off the tape and saran.  you can now lightly sand the patch for final smoothness.

Most marine supply house will sell the West system repair kits. they usually also have small bottles of white color that can be added to the epoxy resin. read and follow the Directions

good luck

With it being an early pod, and considering it's age, and the fact that it is, or was white, I would literally go get a fiberglass repair kit at autozone, and DIY it. Solid bet for insurance to total a Pod that old with that damage.

Ok, well.. "literally", I would just go get one off my garage shelf.. but.. you get my drift. LOL

     I have found three breaks about 2 inches long each.

2008.  It would be nice to have a 2018, but I'm still happy with the one I have.

Thanks.

2008? do you mean 2018? it matters.

That was a bad storm, I know of at least one Pod that had a hail stone go all the way through the roof.

Can anyone offer advice on how to repair the skin on my 2008 R176?  Colorado Springs had a vicious hailstorm yesterday and now I have a couple of breaks in the skin from tennis ball size hail.  

The A/C cover is also damaged, but I have repaired that successfully in the past using fiberglass mesh and resin, so that isn't a big deal.

Many thanks.
