Hiya All!

Project : Kayak Restoration is coming along well. It is a 16 foot, 38 inch wide old fiberglass. I finished sanding to top side about a week ago and have now started to grind the coating off of the bottom. It is a sickly yellowish color, and very hard to grind. Any idea what it is? I'm also trying to find out what kind of kayak it is, I'll post some pics on my webpage when the film is done. Also, does anyone know where I can get a custom spray-skirt made, the hatch is about 32 by 24. Final question, any recomendation on epoxy type to use to coat the bottom. I am figuring on three coats, and two small patches. Been looking at system three epoxy, look like a good brand to me. Thanks much!

Casey
