Doug,

I used Snow-Roof and Elast-o-Seal on my skin kayak, both are made by Snow Roof Systems. I bought it at Eagle Hardware (similar to Home Depot) It was in the roofing section. I have been very please with the results. You can find them on the Internet at http://www.snowroof.com/

On their web site they say the following stores carry their products: Home Depot, Home Base, Payless Cashways/Lumber Jack, Eagle Hardware, Chase Pitkin's, Melder, Moore's, West Lumber Co., Pergament, National Lumber, & Hardware, Fred Meyer, Sherwin Williams, Ace Hardware, Truserv, HWI/Do-It-Best, LMC, and Orgill Brothers.

The web site also give specs for all their products.

It is similar to the products used on mobile homes. In fact they make a product specifically for mobile homes, it is called Mobile Coat.
