The biggest ones I carry are around 2x2 inches and really sturdy and have these single use portions of 2 comp glue. One on each side of the large hole, one outside for the invisible ones. The resin fixes on wet surfaces, so they have saved me hours of sleep when tarp or tent has a hole. I think that's an upgrade on duct tape, but both are good bushfixes. | |

This is fine until the structure snaps. TBF if your not using it on white water you'll likely be fine. Fibreglass can be repaired (I'm in no way an expert on this so I'm not going to answer) because it's fibre bonded using resin. Hopefully someone will be able to provide a good answer for you. | |

Certainly well enough to decide whether or not you like kayaking and want to deal with a proper repair. | |
