: I'm going to be dying the deck and hull of my kayak the same color.
: Looking at the concerns in the archives about getting consistent
: color, it struck me that I might be better off doing all the
: dying at once rather than stripping/dying/glassing the hull and
: then starting the deck and hoping to match the color.

: Does anybody do this? Focusing the glassing into a smaller time
: window would also help me with building logistics.

Dying and glassing don't necessarily have to be done in the same time frame. No reason at all that the dye job can't be done well before you'd even think about glassing.
