John, would you suggest clamping after the epoxy is worked in? Sorry about Snapfish.

Caleb-
If you can 'move' the cracked areas by hand, it can help the epoxy to penetrate. (Warm conditions also help with this...). I wouldn't 'go overboard' with clamping, but some spring clamps or lightly tightened clamps can certainly help, especially if there is a possibility of the epoxy dripping through to the other side (if you have the kayak tipped on its side).
