Fixing hole in sled

[amateurfishing]

I have a penny side hole in the front of my 1 man flip over that constantly gets snow in it when I drag it around, any ideas?

There is a product, forget the name, that looks like a big crayon that you melt onto both sides of your tub. works pretty good. Sorry I cant remember the name off hand.

I fixed a hole about that size in my Eskimo with some scrap plastic and J B weld.

Nut, bolt amd washer???

If your ever down in the cities you could stop at a ax-man and pick up some polyurethane. They sell sticks of it similar to like what Northalnder is talking about.

Otherwise I would be inclined to cut up a bucket and pop-rivet a chunk on there and seal it up with a bit of silicone.

Pop rivet the plastic from a milk jug in place.

+1 to ax-man. that place is a treasure trove!

JB weld, cheap and very effective.

what is j b weld and where do i find it?

Any fleet or hardware store should have it. I've even seen it in convenience stores.

Comes in a little tube about the size of a cardboard Daisy BB tube.

By the way, what if this hole is a little larger and includes a rib of the sled? I have a one man flip with a melt hole in the bottom of the sled that's probably 5" across that can be problematic.

For the record, NO, I did not have a campfire in my portable. This was someone else's doing.

No idea how the hole got in your sled but this thread also serves as a reminder that if you pull your sled alot you should invest in a $50.00 set of hifax. I have an otter sled that is 6 years old and looks like new on the bottom side. Like I said not a dig on your situation but alot of people ask the question as to whether hifax are worth the money.

How about a fender washer and a small bolt/lock nut. Fender washers have smaller holes in them and can be bought at any decent hardware store.

I picked up a piece of plastic to repair a kayak at a kayak store. It was about $10 and about 8 inches in diameter. You can cut a piece of it and put it on with a heat gun. That may work as well but I probably would put it on the inside of the sled.

bought sled used last year, hole already there, no idea how, just want to keep snow out.

+1 for JB Weld.

I had a small hole in my shack sled a year back. JB Welded it and then put runners on the bottom to help prevent addition unnecessary wear and tear.

It's been really good since!

There's some stuff out there I think Locktite makes it. It's silver in color and comes in a tube about the size of a roll of pennies. It's in a puddy form, you cut off a chunk and mold it in where you need it. Would work better for that size of hole and when it hardens you can sand it smooth just like JB weld. I'm a big believer in JB weld as well, just think this stuff would work better to fill that big of hole.
