: How much CPES is needed to sealcoat one kayak & a couple paddles?

When I used it on the log house, it went 100-200 sq ft per gallon. A kayak is about 50 sq ft I think, and a paddle a few more. That would be handy, about 1/2 gal, and it comes in a 2-qt kit. Also 2 pts, 2 gals, etc, but at the prices they charge you don't want to buy more than you need. The Rot Doc is real proud of his CPES.

Sidebar: I first heard about this stuff several years ago on the WoodenBoat Forum, check the archives if you're curious. A lot of the big boys over there really like it.
