I once had a problem with the epoxy on a couple paddles. I must have mis-measured, because the epoxy got tacky but not hard, and stayed that way for well over a day. On the advice of people on this board, I took a big cardboard box, made a 'tent', and put the paddles under it along with (2) 100-Watt worklights. After 2 more days the epoxy was hard. My guess is that you could put a light in your cockpit or a heater underneath the kayak and get it to cure, too.

: Hello,
