Nope, Avid dyes are for nylon and natural materials. For polyester and synthetics you need disperse dyes.

Heres a good site that has lots of info: http://www.prochemicalanddye.com/home.php?cat=401

and some other ideas are here:http://www.pburch.net/dyeing/dispersedye.shtml

I sure would wanna test dye a small batch and stretch it over a frame, before i committed to an entire kayak....
