In Response To: wooden kayak (b. polansky)

: I just dug up a wooden kayak from the basement that was built in 1970. I took
: it out onto the bay for the first time. I never was in kayak but had no
: trouble handling it.However it definetely needs a coat of something. There
: was a slight leak in the aft section of the kayak which may have been wood
: shrinkage.Could someone tell me what type of polyurethane or other type of
: product to use? The boat is in beautiful shape and I would like to use
: more often.
: Any suggestions would be appreciated.

: Thanks!

Are there any identifying marks on the kayak? Is the kayak painted of do you see the natural wood?
