I have used RAKA to build a strip canoe and two S&G kayaks as well as 3 canoe and one kayak paddle. The only item I have found to watch for is to make sure you MIX WELL. If you do not, you may end up with fisheyes all over. These are pinhead sized dimples in the glass.

Price is unbeatable for epoxy but even better for the glass.
