: Hi all,

: I make preparations for closing some seams with thickened epoxy. Because I
: need good temperature, I think of warming up the kayak from the inside:
: ..I need a enery-saving, cheap, reliable method with good distribution of
: the warmth to minimize tension.
: What I have in mind is just a principle: ..a small unit (1 lightbulb)
: combined with a small fan ("PC fan") to distibute the warmth
: evenly. The deck openings could be covered with plastic to keep the heat
: inside. It should be easy to build such a tool.
: What do you think?

Your idea with a light and a fan will work but keep an eye on it so that heat does not concentrate too much in one spot. I used a trouble light inside the rear hatch to help shape the fit of the flush hatch. I left the light too long and too close to the glass lip and it started to sag. I caught it in time but it could have done some real damage.
