How does one assess the viability of an older plastic
kayak?  Plastic can become brittle over time, even if
its stored indoors.  Sunlight can make ageing even
worse.  How do you determine how much life an older
kayak has left?  If you have a kayak infront of you,
how do you determine how brittle it has become?
