Should have read:

If the same ratio holds, a 35 lb. boat would use 4.9 lbs of CPES BEFORE solvent
evaporation. Almost half of it goes away (solvent weighs +/- 8 lb/gal, epoxy is +/- 10), so that knocks the difference down to the 1 lb. range.

Heck, even if it were 5 lbs. that would not be much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. A fully loaded kayak with paddler and gear probably weighs at least 250 lb, so 5 lb would only be an extra 2% of the total.
