Where can I get latex to make temporary repairs? I would like to put
off the full replacement until later. Thanks!

Hello. I am going on a trip to Quebec City and farther east towards
Ile aux Coudres in Quebec. I've been searching the internet for info
on kayaking around there and have come up with zilch. If you have any
ideas or suggestions about where to launch, nice places to kayak,

However, there are a lot of so-called Classic, Mac 26D and 26S mode

I'd like to recommend a canoe adventure story.  It's called "River of

we'll begin some overnight touring out of Sydney, Aust.

I've been using 303, but am running low.

rubber dry suit seals.
But I notice that the per-gallon cost of 303 and UV Tech are about the same.

We're looking into purchasing a used canoe (an Old Town Penobscot 16, a
16 footer) and the only car we have to carry it is a 2005 Subaru
Forester.  There's a roof rack on the forester, and from rough tape
measure estimates, it looks like it'll be close, but it will fit.  I'm

Just a bit of moisture left inside my sealed hatches over time has
resulted in a odour that's best depicted as "what the cat drug in".....
I know that chlorine is very bad for polyethlyene and neoprene so I'm
thinking bleach as a mildew cleaner is a bad idea.  Is clorox 2 an
