For polyethylene - probably so. For fiberglass - that's where you've scared
me, Peter.
If there is such a risk for transported kayak (glass), then there will be
the same risk for a kayak stored on the rack, if the place is hot enough
(which is usually not the case in BC).  What I would like to know, - is
there such a risk (for glass boats)?
