Now that sounds challenging. But to be honest, from the time I skinned these kayaks, I realized that I missed working with epoxy and glass. I like the paper idea, but I would still be apt to glass over the top. Carving a whole kayak out of pink foam and glassing it really has my attention now. But I think I'll build at least one more of these glassed SOFs and finish stripping the deck on my Cirrus before I begin another bizarre adventure. Thanks for the ideas.
