Nick, just FYI the first video says "not available ifor viewing in your country". The second one was great. In it you show some sort of protective film covering the inside of the kayak, which you peeled off. What was that, and what purpose does it serve? Also the inside of the kayak appears black. Was this painted? Thanks again for your support. I got some OD the nylon reinforced strapping tape andthat is helping to wrestle the two halves together, but it's still quite a struggle.

I am trying the method suggested by one member of the forum where he rolls out the tape in advance, while the hull is open and tacks itinerary place with beads of hot glue. I was going to use a small cup on the end of a stick to pour a line of epoxy on top of the tape to saturate it and then and bush it in with a brush on the stick. Any reason you might advise against this instead of pre-saturating a roll and then rolling it out? Thanks,
Jay.
