: Vinegar works for sure!! Funny you mention this but my wife, God bless her,

: Funny feeling taking off a hat it is stuck to you hair. :( For the curious, I
: was touching up the fillets on bulkheads now that I have hatches cutout.
: Had my head up and in hatches and obviously got some epoxy on the edge of
: one of the openings. Put on the old straw hat and mowed the grass. Amazed
: that it had not set up in my hair.

Been there, done that. Not on a kayak though. Glued my hair to my beard. I got a shorter beard now. :( I almost look civilised now. :D
Vinegar didn't work, by the time I realised, the epoxy had set solid.

I'm a lot more careful now. I'll not be gluing a hat to my head soon. :D :D

More seriously, wearing a hat, skullcap type, is a good thing as well. Keeps resin out of your hair and if it's long, tie it back and tuck it in under the hat.
