I had a few screw holes that I needed to repaired on my kayak a couple days ago.
While I was making the repair I thought I would turn on the camera and share the repair.
It was a very easy to fill the holes with the iron and the end result was better then I had expected.

Can your iron get these wrinkles out?

What is the brand name and specs of the iron?

Can you use a regular solder iron?

The iron is a 170w Hobbico. It is a few years old but here's a picture of the one I used.

Here's a link to a new model.
