: Your really making me envious showing all your kayaks. Do you have
: any recommendations for application of hypalon, brush, roller,
: squeegee? Number of coats?

Bill's right ! Those are just a few of the older SOF's. I've built about 40 kayaks in all, though I lost count years ago.

But I digress.... Here's a link to some basic neoprene / hypalon instructions I wrote several years ago.
At the neoprene link, read the text at the bottom. Click on the pic to open the second page on hypalon.
Neoprene and hypalon are quite similar, so coating with them is pretty much the same process.

I've done this various ways, with hypalon over neoprene and hypalon or neoprene only.
The attached pic is a sewn 9oz nylon skin brushed with 5 coats of thinned hypalon.
