Gatorguard Fiberglass Tape, Cloth & Mat
Gatorguard Fiberglass Repair: Marine-Grade Reinforcement That Works
When it comes to fiberglass repair on the water, few things matter more than a fast, reliable, and truly watertight solution. Gatorguard has built its reputation in the marine protection space by delivering exactly that — and their lineup of fiberglass tape, cloth, and mat products is a direct extension of that mission. Engineered for the demands of boaters, kayakers, and marine DIYers, Gatorguard's fiberglass reinforcement products are designed to provide permanent protection without the complexity of traditional multi-step repair systems.
The Gator Patch: Fiberglass Reinforcement Reimagined
At the heart of Gatorguard's offering in this category is the Gator Patch — a UV-cure fiberglass reinforced repair patch that combines the structural strength of polyester resin and woven fiberglass cloth with a refreshingly simple application method. The Prep-Peel-Stick process means there's no mixing of resins, no messy layups, and no waiting overnight for a cure. Simply prep the surface, peel the backing, stick the patch, and let natural sunlight do the rest — the patch cures in UV light in under an hour, delivering a repair rated at 500 PSI that is both watertight and impenetrable.
What makes this fiberglass mat and cloth solution stand out is its remarkable versatility. Gatorguard's UV-cure patches bond to fiberglass, aluminum, wood, and plastic surfaces, making them equally useful for repairing a cracked hull, a punctured kayak, a leaking tank, or a damaged pipe. The patch is moldable around flat surfaces, curves, joints, and angles — tackling the same irregular geometries that make traditional fiberglass cloth repairs so time-consuming.
Available Sizes and Applications
Gatorguard offers their fiberglass repair patches in multiple sizes to match the scale of the job at hand. Whether you're addressing a small stress crack on a canoe or reinforcing a more significant damaged section on a bass boat, there's a patch configuration to fit the repair. Once cured, the fiberglass composite can be sanded, drilled, tapped, or painted for a clean, finished look that blends seamlessly with the surrounding surface.
- Marine hulls — repairs on fiberglass and aluminum boats, kayaks, and canoes
