Hi All It has been awhile.... I looked at my kayak the other day and found the magnets on the hatches are rusted really bad, one just disappeared into nothing. I did fiber glass over them. So I had an idea what if I mix zinc powder in the epoxy and refiberglass over the new magnects with this. Do you think this will help? Thanks Joe
