Strip: Questions and Progress!! *Pic*

This is the progress on the kayaks my wife and I are building! Both hulls are glassed now we are working on the decks.

Questions???

1.) Thinking ahead when I do the end pour what kind of a mixture do you use? (i.e. type of filler to be added to epoxy.)

2.) Do i have to be concerned with controlling the curing time when all of the epoxy is heating up in the end pour? i'm having thoughts of the ends of the kayaks burning off, as the heat builds!

3.) For fun bonus questions??

a.)Does the same law that applies to hydrualics apply here?
This law (at least I think) states something to this effect if you double a pipe diameter you quadruple it capacity. So if we can rearange it to meet kayaks it should go something like this!
If you build two Kayaks you quadruple the time required.
