All,
I am missing a couple canvas snaps that are affixed to the hull of the boat. I am just looking for a small QUALITY kit with epoxy / glue that will actually hold the snapas in place. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

I am actually looking for the ones that screw into the hull. I am missing two. I didn't know if they made a kit that included ones for the canvas, hull and epoxy.

They make some of the screw in male snaps that are oversized to use in a situation where the smaller holes are stripped out. They work really well.

Or, fill the hole with some epoxy putty, drill, and install new stud. A big stick of epoxy putty is about $7 at the hardware store.

I have used them and they work great if you have one stripped out. I always put a dab of silicone on the threads and screw it in.

I always have a bag of them on hand as they work perfectly on a stripped hole and if it happens again then fill it.
