Epoxy: Epoxy on canvas

Hi folks. I just pulled the canvas off an old kayak I got cheap at an auction and was thinking that rather than just put new canvas on it and paint it, what about canvas, then epoxy resin, then marine paint. Is this viable?.
I was thinking that it might be a bit more robust for my kids to use than just a painted canvas skin.
Cheers for any advise.
