We're thinking of staining the wood to get a redder, more cedar
> like color; any suggestions for stains to lookfor/avoid?

Coventional wisdom from this group has suggested that one needs to stay away from oil based stains but that water based ones are OK. I would certainly run a trial on any stain before aplying it to the kayak to see if the epoxy bonds OK. Earl
