Not all boat materials require flame treatment—some lighter materials (like Royalex-style hulls) may not need it. But for many plastic boats, this step helps improve bonding.

The good news? Most skid plate kits make the epoxy process simple, with pre-measured components and easy mixing right in the provided containers.
