Bob F Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Here's another post from our PhantomFisher days. The RNLI are apparently recommending that an Emergency Repair Kit is kept on board. I came across these details of such a kit on the web, for anyone interested and future reference. Kollision Kit(Reference #020-IMSKK) Launched at the Southampton International Boat Show in September, Kollision Kit 999 from Innovative Epoxy Solutions (IES) of Milford on Sea is an emergency repair kit for use in the event of a collision or water ingress whilst afloat. In the short time since the product was brought to market, the Kollision Kit 999 has attracted a great deal of interest, not least because all of the competing yachtsmen in the ongoing Millennium Round the World Yacht Race will be carrying the newly developed repair kit with them. The Kollision Kit 999 is proving of interest in the ocean racing fraternity, it is equally suitable as an emergency back-up on board all types of coastal and inland waterway vessels - and using the kit will also reduce the likelihood that an expensive lift out is required. The Kollision Kit 999 has two significant features, it is very easy to use, with forgiving mix ratios of 50:50. It can be mixed and applied underwater for a quick rapid seal within minutes. The epoxy cures to a solid, long-lasting protective coating under water and adheres to glass fibre, metal, wood, and concrete, whilst in more extreme damage cases a polymat sheet can be utilised in the repair. This resin can be used to repair leaks, bonding to steel, copper, PVC, paint, and resists water, oil and fuels and is equally suitable for underwater repairs and all kinds of general repairs as an all-purpose sealer and adhesive. The Kollision Kit is packed in a plastic zip bag, and includes the following components: a 75ml B10999 base mix; a 75ml BI0999 cure mix; a 18in x 12in polymat: scissors; instructions for use; a mixing board; two pairs of disposable gloves; four mixing spatulas; abrasive paper; MSDS; and a priority re-order form.
