For the cost of these nasty coatings, you could buy a meter of 
waterproof nylon and sew it into a servicable underdeck bag.  Seal 
the seams with Aquaseal or seam sealer (forget which brand but one of 
them is really good - used it one a tent 7 years ago and it's still 
going strong).

NOt explicit instructions, but guidelines and ideas.

An underdeck bag will be drier than a deck bag if your kayak has the 
room to suit your needs.
