building from a mold is a quick and easy way to get a kayak. you sure don't have to do all the other stuff that everyone here talks about, heh heh - and the finish is automaticly given by the mold.
that being said, you do need to assure yourself that this is the type of yak that will be ok for you to spend bucks on. time is irrelevant as you'll get a yak in 2 or 3 days.

try to beg, borrow or take out from the library - a 1986 book called 'boatbuilders manual' edited by charles walbridge - it'll tell you most of what you need.
