I coated my first SOF kayak with 2 coated of water based urethane and found
that it "wept" salt water. I thought the beads of moisture could be
condensation but one taste told me it was not. I overcoated the water based
material with conventional urethane and have not had a problem in the ensuing
4 years.

Subject: [baidarka] Sealant?
I'm sure there's reams of discussion in the archives about this, and I'll go
through it when I get some time, but I was wondering if there's any kind of
general consesus about the best sealant for nylon fabric. George Dyson told
me
Hypalon is his first choice, unless you like the translucent look (which I
do).
He said he's heard complaints about water-borne one-part polyurethan, which
is
what I had been planning to use, because I'd also read some very positive
things. Any advice?
