Careful when heating kayaks! There was once an Inuit hunter who became extremely cold while out in his kayak... So he built a small fire inside to warm up. Well obviously it caught fire and the boat sank and sadly, he died.
The motto of this story is, "You can't have your kayak and heat it too..."
: 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?
