Then in the afternoon the kayak was draped in a silky gown of 4oz woven fibreglass.

Preparing the West Systems resin.

Pouring on the honey-like resin.

Slowly wetting the fibre through with resin.

Basting the kayak's hull in resin.

Suddenly it's looking just like a delicious glazed roast duck.

A great day in the workshed.

Thanks to Ian for providing his shipwright's skills and experience.

(Despite visual absence from this documentary the apprentice kayak builder is also doing the odd bit of work)
