I had the experience of water weeping in when I used 2 coats of water based
polyurethane on 13 Oz polyester. At first I thought it was condensation
because the salt water I was paddling in was so cold. However, condensation
is not salty to the taste.

A coat of conventional polyurethane solved the problem and I have been leak
free for several years now with no need for additional coats. No peeling
either.

  Where did your leaks come from? Stitching?
  I doubt it. All the stiching is along the top, which never got wet. I think
  it seeped in.
