this time the kayak repair went a little better. I sprayed the PVA on liberally after applying the fiber and gelcoat, and it had dried to a hard, glossy finish by the time I checked an hour or two later. however, it wasn't very smooth, a fault of my slipshod application and the fact that I'd forgotten to water down the PVA so it came out closer to a jet than a mist. but it should get us through the next kayak trip.
I still have to finish replacing the silicone seal I ripped up because it was in the way of the repair. but that can wait until tomorrow. house cleanup Wednesday morning and afternoon.
