Hi, having never used Aquacoat I have a few questions on applying it.

1. The instructions don't mention how long it takes to dry or how long between coats. How long is drying time and...

I have no idea what else to add.
Half the problems i face are finding materials in the local area... the other half are self cause because i didn't do things correctly the first time :rolleyes:

That is based on building some kite surfing boards, they flex a lot and the...
