:It would be great to see the
: strip Bardarka, there is only one other Bardarka in NZ that I know off
: (canvas).

I am surprised there arent more than that, I am not very familar with the kayak scene , live in Rotorua , didnt even know the last symposium was at my back door !!!haha

: By the way have you tried a heat gun on the milky surface? Otherwise set it
: out in the hot sun to bake for awhile. If this doesn't work and you have
: to remove the glass then stripping off with a hot air gun is much eaiser
: then sanding. I'm about to do it once again tonight :(

no I havent tried that , I will , thanks for the tip but arent you at risk of damaging the wood by using enough heat to melt epoxy ??

I dont know where you live in NZ but my guess is its not the weather for laying glass , especialy in your situation , a week maybe all you would have to wait.No ??
