There's a product found in the States called J.B. Weld which fills that sort of damage to fins well. The only drawback to it would be that it has some metal filings in it which can rust to a rough finish. However, a light sanding from time to time eliminates it. You don't have to be an expert chemist like Nebbian, too, to use it. It's simpler and easier to use than Epoxy, doesn't crack or chip and holds it's bond terrifically. It can be applied in any temperature, too.

I don't know if I'd let folks know you have electricity and running water. Here in Montana, we prefer to advertise our faults, hopefully to keep out the riff raff.

You don't want us Yanks flooding your shores when the Bushies fly the Cheney/Bush campaign, do you?

Our repair product of choice is baling twine!

Yeah JB weld is OK but it is an epoxy filler with metal and designed for non marine applications. It will work well, but if you can you shoudl buy Knead It or similar. Same stuff but the filler is not metal.

BTW americans are welcome here

yep, eat vegemite every day. love the stuff. i was raised on it my parents were raised on it and now my kids are raised on it. even when travelling the world for a few years i made sure i never ran out. found it was good value when trading with other aussies in backpacker through europe.

fosters is considered crap here. no one drinks it. corona is very popular. i think you guys call that skunk juice?
i don't even know if fosters is still brewed in australia?

prob with US beer is that it just isn't strong enough. can drink the stuff all day and not get drunk.

Vegamite tastes fantastic! I had some for breakfast this morning.

However, a mistake many foreigners make is to put it on incorrectly. Some people say to only put a thin spread over your toast. This is wrong, and doesn't let you appreciate the full flavour of this wonderful beer extract (Yes you read that right, it's made from BEER).

For your first taste of vegamite, you want to put a little margarine on the toast, and then slop on the vegamite like you would peanut butter. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
