> How cured was your epoxy when the damage happened?

The epoxy was totally cured -- I've used this boat for about a year and it has been post cured dozens of times (I consider baking a kayak on the top of my truck to be post curing enough; I know there have been times when the temperature of that boat had to be close to 140 degrees, and for prolonged periods of time at that).

Has anybody out there placed a thermometer inside their kayak while it is sitting out in the sun? I will do this the next time I am out and post the results here.
