Hi Nick, I watched your video with great interest and it recalls a nagging question, If a kayak constructed with PVA glue is used for most of the day (8 to 10 hrs) in the hot Florida sun would any adverse conditions arise? For a number of years I have been paddling my Night Heron (constructed with PVA) in Florida and some times the deck gets too hot to touch and wondered if lifting myself out would put excess weight on the deck etc. Nick R.
