In Response To: First kayak I built picture (Bobby Curtis)

Really nice web site - good quality pictures and text. Too bad about the paint problem. I built a Chesapeake 16 last fall - really like it a lot. Only problems I ran into was working with epoxy and urethane in 30 - 40 degree temps. Made for some long set up times and the urethane kind of orange peel surfaced on me on the vertical surfaces. Trying to convince the wife she needs one so I can build another. I get tired of waiting for her to catch up with her Walden Paddler Naturalist. P.S. how do you keep cat hair out of the epoxy and urethane - it just floats around the garage for days?
