Fixing Fishtrap.

[HOGEYE]

I have a fishtrapII that the runner kind of wore through towards the back. I cut some 1X4's and put them on the inside as a backing and then bolted some old military wood skis to the bottom. All bolts are countersunk. My problem is that there are still some small areas that the snow gets pushed into and fills my house. What can I fill these spaces with? I was thinking spray foam, but would like something a little stronger that would actually bond to the sled.

Two weeks ago I got a pretty good sized hole in the back corner of my Fish Trap as well. I work for a remodelling company, so we have all kinds of good stuff laying around the shop. I found a tube of gutter sealer(extremely sticky chit), and loaded up the corner that got sliced. Then I screwed a small piece of aluminum coil stock over that mess, and cleaned up the edges where the goop pushed out the sides of the aluminum. After that set up, I attached a pair of old skis to some blocks underneath, and she now pulls like a dream. The gutter seal sucks to work with, but man it fills every crack and sets up pretty nice. Hope this helps.
