Kayak

Summary

• Kayak, donated by a friend who found it in their backyard. Observations
  • holes plus small and big cracks on both the top and bottom
  • bottom holes have been ‘fixed’ by adding half a meter of PU foam on each side
• ToDo list
  • [done] fix the above
  • [done] Adding hatches and walls separating it from the sitting area
  • Painting bottom and top
  • Adding bungee cord for storage on top of kayak

The progress so far:

• Remove pu foam

• Plugging the hole from the inside and outside (matching the v shape at the bottom)

• Remove excess resin

• Templating the wall with polycarbonate sheets (using this also a buffer later on)

• Templating the deck hatch with cardboard (lowered) including the ability for water to drip off

• Templating the deck hatch with polycarbonate sheet

• Adding resin to templated polycarbonate sheets (hatch and wall)

• Fitting in deck hatch

• Fitting in with epoxy resin of deck hatch

• Hatches ready for sanding (rest of top is already sanded)

• Cleared large cracks and filled with resin

• Plastered rest and sanded down (ready for painting)

• Ready for painting, but the weather is not. So until next year
