----- Original Message ----- From: <kayakwriter_at_netscape.net> > I gather from this you have experience of applying it to composite boats as well as your frame and skin boat. Any pointers for putting it on fibreglass/Kevlar craft? I was thinking I'd use masking tape to mask off the boundaries. Any suggestions getting a smooth finish that will minimize drag in the water? Philip: I should think masking of boundaries as you sugest would work nicely. You can smooth the stuff w/ a wet finger. It does dry quikly so you'l need to work swiftly or do small bits at a time. I have not applied it to my glass boats but had some on my bench top which is made of un-coated MDF. A few weeks after it was fully cured I puled it off w/ some work but it did not pull up any of the wood surface off the bench. I also have been able to pull it off the SOF boats with some work but no damage to the underlying paint and fabric. When cured it is as hard as an automobile tire rubber. michael *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
