One trick I tried that seemed to work - use a vacuum cleaner (better -
 a shop vac) to suck air out of the inside of the kayak as close to 
the work as possible.  Fresh air will find its way in around you.

I agree with Geoff - cut the seat off slose to the coaming and make a 
new seat out of minicell.  Simpler and no chemicals - just lots of 
minicell foam dust to vacuuum up.
