Epoxy: Cold Weather Update *LINK* *Pic*

Well folks, we (my daughter and I) didn't get the opportunity to apply the glass to the deck due to the cold temps during her visit, but we did get the seal coat on before she had to go back to Baltimore. However, the weather has warmed and the deck now has the glass and two fill coats on it. I like the way the 4oz S-glass wet out. I've got a single layer tying the deck, recess, and coaming together plus a second layer wrapping the coaming.

Here's a pic of Kelly and me with her "soon to be" kayak - named "Restless Wind". There are a few more pics at the link below.

Happy Building & Happy Holidays.

Charles.
