: Only comment I'd have is it would seem you'd want light colored
: decks, 122 degrees is a pretty low heat deflection temperature.
: Very easy in the summer to reach that with dark deck colors.

WEST System is worse: 117... From what I could see most epoxies that are not post-cured (ie cured at room temp) have HDT around 120 F. How many black kayaks are out there? I know I've built a few! I haven't heard of any delamination issues. Just roll a few times to keep the deck cool! ;)
