Hi all,

Thanks all for the responses. Sounds like there's no "wrong" answer, just a matter of what works for each person, the amount of drying time you want to allow, and how hard you want the clean-up to be.

Although I'm a fan of the apiphatic resins, it's brittleness 9as a couple of posters pointed out) may be an issue in a kayak that's under stresses from swells, beach landings, etc. So I may go for TB II or similar for a bit of flexibility - and faster drying than normal PVA.

Thanks again...I'll beposting pics when I get started!

Regards,
