Hi 

I have just started a kayak restoration project.  The initial plan was just to patch the carbon kevlar hull following the tutorial in the EC video on YouTube (simples!).  However as I started prepping the hull, sanding the damaged areas bottom of the boat and marking up the damage it became obvious I may as well just re-skin the whole hull.

Questions I have?
- Should I patch the damaged individually, or will the outer skin do this effectively on its own?
- Will the EL2 Epoxy Laminating Resin 500g SLOW be enough to do the bottom hull and re-tape the seam?
- What will give me the easiest and best finish on the hull - release film or peel ply? 

Once I have done the bottom of the boat, I can then start on the decks, where the original gold glitter deck has become faded and matt, But that will start a host of more questions no doubt.

Kind regards

James
