Hi all,

today I've got two minor questions I would like to run past you...

1) Getting ready to order some boatbuilding stuff from www.jamestowndistributors.com. I want to put bronze eyestraps on my kayak deck, similar to Rob Mack´s Firestar on his site. What size eyestraps should I order (is the "size" defined by the opening for the rope ?)

2) Finished sanding the hull of my Endeavour kayak today. According to Kayakcraft, I should now glass the hull (outside only) and then turn it right side up and strip the deck. Then glass the deck exterior and move on to the insides. Unfortunately, the deck will probably be pretty slow going (too much work on the day job). How long can I give myself with the hull sealed only on one side ? Or maybe I should paint some temporary seal coat on the inside, without braking the forms out, Latex maybe ???

Thanks, Pascal
