Thanks, Scott! I discovered last night that the layer of epoxy directly over the leaves is not sticking tight to the leaves. As long as I am careful with the kayak it won't be a problem. I haven't had much time myself but that can be attributed to working on the kayak. I should be taking it out this weekend to do a test run. I expect no problems...just a lot of fun. I plan on using graphite and HBN to create a graphic on the bottom of the hull. You will have to wait and see what I do before I let you know...consider the graphic to be a sort of SOS call if I ever manage to flip it on the water. Have fun on the water. As for fat old man...you must be eating better now than when I last saw you, eh!
