You might also address your question to the Folbot User's Forum at 
http://www.folbot.com/, they have a very active and helpful users group.  I 
have an Aleut not the Kodiak so I can't help with problems specific to the 
Kodiak.  You will find that if you assemble the kayak and leave it assembled 
for a few weeks the parts take a set and assembly and disassembly become 
easier.  Folbot also has a silicon spray which I think is included with its 
new boats or you can order it from their site.  Use the spray on any parts 
which slide together especially around the holes where the cross frames lock 
into the long pieces.  Also spray inside the hull before you insert the frame 
halves.

Feel free to e-mail me directly with any questions if you wish.
