almost sank today - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

First and foremost I'm very glad to hear you are okay and very glad that the trip didn't go as bad as it most certainly could have.

That being said, with all resins and glues etc. it Is extremely important to follow all the directions properly, I've worked alot with both and anytime ya skip one part can make the bond fail. Definitely not trying to say you didn't do it right, just sometimes similar glues have very different directions in prepping. More posting this as a friendly reminder to everyone includng myself!

Once again glad your okay and I'm pretty sure westmarine will gladly refund you the money and help you out with any questions you may have (I've been rigging my boat and have spent far too much time there as of late)

good luck and I hope you get out fishing on the zodiac
soon!!

Matt
