Do NOT bake!

: Just remember that epoxy gets soft when it gets warm, and steel doesn't, so
: maybe nix the baking? Call your epoxy manufacturer. I think that West said
: not over 130*, but I can't remember. Just follow whatever they recommend.

I forgot to mention in my post: the body shop where I did the "Nereida" did not bake the kayak. It was force-air dried only. No heat.

Good point, Mike.
