In Response To: Molded fiberglass kayak seat (Hank)

Just wanted to say great looking seat.

I worked on my own custom seat this wkend via the sand in a box method. It seemed to work good except that lots of epoxy pooled in the deepest parts of the "cheek" section of the seat. Only 1 layer of 4 oz glass and epoxy so far though. I will be adding 2 more coats of resin and then some more glass cloth before trying to sit in it however.

Good luck and hope that its comfy .

regards, Pete
