How to Restore/Repair Mad River Eclipse Royalex Canoe, Part 1

New restoration project. A 2004 Mad River Eclipse Canoe that will primarily be used as a solo canoe in regions of rocky rivers and streams. The restoration will require all new wooden gunwales, decks and canoe carrying handles. Three cold cracks will be repaired using G-Flex epoxy. This video will demonstrate how I strip the canoe down to the hull and prepare the hull for paint and for epoxy repair. Please follow along on with this series and subscribe to the channel to see the progress as each video is released. This will be my first Royalex canoe restoration. Feel free to watch my cedar strip canoe build series and my short video which captures the chestnut chum canoe restoration. I enjoy working in my shop and I truly enjoy bringing an old canoe back to life. Thanks for watching.
