I purchased the glue(s) and accelerator at a hobby store. Its also available at craft stores.The model is a kit and they also sell a stripper kayak. I got mine at a hobby store, they are also sold in Canoe and Kayak Magazine.I bought it to see if I really wanted to get into building a real one.I didn't see the Kayak kit until i had purchased the canoe.In all I think I have about 45-50 hrs in it and only need to finish some sanding and varnishing. I've thought about downsizing some Kayak plans and building one if I can't start on the real thing soon.
