Final Fit & Finish of Kevlar Skid Plates | Worth It? (Part 11)

This is where everything comes together.

In Part 11 of this Kevlar skid plate install series, we dial in the final fit—making sure the felt is smooth, tight, and fully bonded before it cures.

In this video:

Using a brush to refine the fit and remove imperfections
Ensuring even resin coverage across the entire skid plate
Why the keel may need extra attention and resin
Eliminating air pockets before curing
A full look at the finished install (before drying)

This is the step that determines how durable your skid plate will be. Take your time—once it cures, it’s locked in.

I also share some real-world perspective: we installed these on multiple work canoes over the years, and they extended the life of those boats to the point they never wore out. For my personal canoe, this $200 upgrade could easily add another decade of use.

🎣 Up next: the final reveal—how it turned out after curing.
