With a few posts on some yaks having weak areas and by pushing on the inside it becomes obviious the plastic is thin, I did an experiment. I put my foot in through the rear hatch of my yak and pushed on the plastic to try and see if it was thin and soft and would my foot go through.
The outcome was my foot was stuck. Not to worry, my chainsaw was within reach so I only needed to make a few neat cuts and I was free. (see pic)
Then I used some silicon goo to stick it back together (I only had white but it blends in) and I used some old fencing wire to stitch it together (galvanised so it won't rust).
So you can see for yourself that my yak is now as good as new and ya can't hardly even see where I did the surgery.
All I am worried about now is that those whiting that bit off Andy Bear's leg some time back might smack into my yak and bust off that weaker bit. (Andy B's leg grew back and he says he is fine now.) You can read about Andy's leg growing back on this forum. Like all the posts, if its on this forum, it must be true. :shock: :wink:
