: Thanks for all the input we have decided the mold will be the way
: to go.

: So brings me to the next question sizing the opening.

: I have contacted Seals 'cause we were considering using their spray
: covers. Didn't get the info i was looking for, on correct
: sizing. I am assuming they size their covers using the linear
: circumference of the opening. Not really sure though.

Seal's numbers are meaningless, just a way to judge which one is larger than another. At least that's what I've gotten from them. If you use a production kayak for a base for the mold, just order the skirt for that kayak and it'll fit.
