1.) I would like to just get the kayaks out and use them. Then later in the fall I will coat them with urethane.
Q1 Is this ok to do or is it just way easier to do it now?
Q2 Can we do one coat then finish later?
Q3 How long does it take to completely polyurethane one kayak?
Q4 How many coats work best?
Q5 How much do I need to do a Guillemot and a Great Auk?
Q6 Brands to recommend?

2.) My father-in-law works with a guy who builds Rob Roy type boats and he recommended a two part polyurethane.
Q7 Has anyone ever used a brand called "Perfection Polyurethane" or "Epithane".

3.) The lip on the combing is about 95% complete. All that is left is some sanding of a couple of runs plus a spot in the very front underneath of the lip that has to have cloth applied – area is about 2” x .75”. I’m itching to get going on joining the deck and hull together. Since all of the work is on the outside of the deck and easily accessible I can sand and patch the one area after the hull and deck are joined. I feel this will save me time overall because, of scheduling the taping of the inside seam.

Q8 Is my thinking on this ok?

Thanks, Mike Sundman
