: You experienced types know this already but for anyone new to building a
: kayak pleased don't make my mistake. It was time to wet out the glass and
: I had gone through two batches already. I measured out the resin for the
: next batch when the phone rang. No problem I thought, the hardener is not
: added yet and off I went to answer the phone. Later, when I was checking
: to see if the resin had set up enough to put on the second coat I found
: one section not setting at all. I don't know if I simply forgot to add
: hardener to that batch but it made a real mess cleaning it up and removing
: wet glass before adding a patch of new glass and starting over. It looks
: kinda OK now but I'm starting off with what I once saw someone described
: as "character" built into my boat. Yes, I know it will float.
: Yes, I know it's not a piece of furniture. Yes, I know hardly anyone else
: will even notice. But I still feel a bit stupid. In future, there will be
: NO interuptions permitted.

At my age, I prefer to refer to them as geriatric interludes. Jim
