I'm sure this has been addressed here before and we should have paid more attention, but I can't seem to find it.
What is the best method to remove superficial scratches from a Bell kevlar ultralight canoe? Nothing really deep just white scratches. Also, this is our first kevlar boat and we are trying to be extra careful, but we enjoy getting off the "main road" so to speak and find ourselves negotiating beaver dams and portages-is it normal to get some scratches or are we not being careful enough? It seems to scratch pretty easy just barely touching a rock or even a sandy bottom. We always enter and exit while the boat is still in the water, but "stuff happens". My thinking is that it is like bass fishing-if your not getting hung up in the weeds once in a while or wrapped around a tree limb-you are probably not doing it right. Just interested in some input from our more experienced paddlers and boat owners and any advice on maintenance from those who have been there. Many thanks!!
