> If the kayak is sealed with epoxy, and considering how much of
> the time most kayaks are not in the water, I wouldn't expect this

> If you're only coating with paint, and/or intend to leave the
> boat in the water, you may want to switch to bronze fasteners.

> How old is the book? Is it possible that new alloys have been
> developed since it was published?
