Adding Internal Fillets

With the stitching done I fillet the joints with an epoxy resin. The resin will be mixed with silica and microballoons to give it some substance. You have to be careful when you activate a resin, most especially when you make resin putty as the substance can heat up really fast and can be dangerous. So this is a job that has to be completed with a good regard for time.

When the seams are filleted I also coat the internal hull with epoxy. I need the finished kayak to be totally encapsulated so that the timbers used have a good protection against water.
