A finished Kayak

 At this point I now have a finished Kayak, bar painting and rigging.

Before beginning the final finish I seal the whole craft in another coat of epoxy. 

This is done several times sealing and sanding each time. Each seal when cured is washed in a solution of warm water and vinegar to remove wax. The epoxy I am using will only cure in a vacuum so it has a wax component built into the resin,  this wax is exuded when the temperature of the epoxy rises and it seals off the resin from the air blowing it to cure.
