FiberFix - Cracking me up!!

Postby BeauV » Thu Aug 25, 2016 12:14 pm

I stumbled over this and thought you all would love the add. Have any of you used the product?? It seems it could be really handy for emergency fixes while out cruising.

Saw it on FB.

Here is an article about it:

Seems to work

Wow. I better get me some of that, or at least find an ugly plumber...

I guess I better not drive my boat off a cliff until I get some.

Might be just the thing, over a layer of plastic wrap, for setting a fracture offshore. ...if I knew how to do that.

The big trick is not getting their nuts underfoot while pulling.

I think you need a drill and stuff from the hardware bins for anything that serious, but that fiber tape would be fantastic for positively immobilizing the whole mess after the ORIF. Might need a carborundum blade for your vibro-tool to get it off.

I wonder if it gets hot while it's going off. A lot of resins put out more heat than I'd want on my skin or an injury. The fact that it's water activated makes me think it might not.

It probably shrinks a bit as well, like fiberglass plaster does.
