Thank you all. First it appears I need to remain calm and wait for warmer weather. I was refering to epoxy as "wetting" the wood before the fiberglass. I guess I mean to say I will use the same System Three Silver Tip as my epoxy coat on the wood first, then apply the fiberglass after it sets up, and apply my first coat of epoxy (same mix as my first mixture used to soak in to the wood. Then after that sets up apply another coat of same mixture as my second coat. Hopefully I can nail the timming so I can get a chemical bond. Same method again for the inside of the deck, but on the second fill coat I would add second layer of fiberglass in the key areas. At this point before I reasemble I will go back too cutting the cockpit and building the coaming. I think I am hearing you all correctly....right? I know you guys all say just have fun and do the best you can, but man you guys set the bar high. And to be able to sit in a kyak that look even close to as nice as what I see would be a treat. Thanks again for all your help.
