: Can you tell us what kind of material the kayak is made of? Older boats of
: this type were made using polyester/fiberglass. The newer ones are made
: with epoxy/fiberglass...or polyethelene. I'm not certain but I think you
: can use epoxy to repair and recoat a polyester boat, but not vice versa.

I'm pretty sure it's something with fiberglass. Forgive my naivete, but how can I tell if it's polyester/fiberglass or epoxy/fiberglass? Would it help if I took some closeup pictures and posted them?
