: I have sanded it down to the wood and no traces of glass anywhere.
: Inside or out. Its a beautiful kayak and I will take the time
: and fix it right. I appreciate all the helpful info.

Big job!
You'll have to separate the deck and hull and glass both sides, then re-assemble. Getting a good glass bond will require a lot of work with varnish stripper and sandpaper. And, you may mess up some of the 'artistic features' as well.

If it were mine, I'd sell it to a local bar to hang on the wall, and use the proceeds for another boat (or materials to build one).

I'd have some serious doubts about the builder's expertise. (Who would build an unglassed strip hull, with 'a loose strip' and donate to a charity?)
Is the kayak a known design?

Cheers
John
