: Hi Eric,
: what i do when applying a seal coat is brush on the coat let it
: soak for only a very short time. Then scrape or squeegee the
: extra off. Let that harden untill it is not sticky at all. About
: 8 to 12 hours and you will have a chemical bond. Then proceed
: with the glass work.
: If you have never wet out glass then strip some pannels for bulk
: heads and glass them first. This will give you a chance to learn
: and feel comfortable before you work on your kayak.

Thank you for the clarification. I am ready to go. As long as my weekend is not filled with "more important todo's" I will be fiberglassing this weekend.
