Re: [Paddlewise] QQ: tell me again - best protection to prevent heal rub inside kayak

Sounds like some WestCoast kayakers paddler their kayaks harder than they drive their pick-up rigs.
This all got started when i decided to "spruce up" my Tofino that i've been paddleing for the past fifteenyears or so. The deck looks a lot better than the hull. It has taken a lot of use and abuse. So this has been my first time doing gel-coat repair. Got a lot yet to learn.

Someone on West Coast Paddlers tried putting the material that they coat
pickup truck beds with and it was ok for a while but didn't last even a
year.
