Does anyone have knowlege of what product is compatible with the waterproof
coating on Spiritline kayak skins? The boat I built at Spiritline last year
is developing 1" round spots where the coating is peeling off, exposing the
ballistic nylon underneath.

I have not been succesful in obtaining patching material or help from
Spiritline, and I do not know what product or formulation will adhere to the
the skin of my boat. So far I have tried Aqua Seal on a few of the pin
holes in the stitching and it peeled off. I don't want to guess and put
something on the bare baidarka skin that will not bond to it and prevent
other products from bonding in the future.

Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated. I have only used the
boat once since in the last few months and the problem got worse afterwords.
