Sounds like it would add a lot of weight to your yak. Interesting idea though...

Maybe mask off a few vulnerable areas and only spray them.

If you really want more protection for the the hull I've heard of people using kevlar. Not sure how much it costs.

Its also going to slow you down a lot due to the rough texture.

I would think it would do nothing but bog you down...

By the time you wear it away too far, you'll want a new ride anyway.

I would have my doubts as to how well it would adhere to the kayak. If it is a polyetheylene yak I really doubt it. Poly yaks are easy to repair if needed. Scrapes just give it personality. Unless they are very deep, don't sweat it. If they are deep they can more than likely be fixed. It is not very hard.

Let me know if I can help.

Sounds like a bad idea. As others noted, more weight and drag in the water. Those oysters would just make it crumble to pieces. Then it would look ultra terrible!

I sprayed some on the bow, witch gets the most abuse, but ya'll are right it slow me down

thanks ya'll

I think there are some folks spraying it on the keel line on fiberglass sea kayaks. The reports I read said that it only added about a lb & had no significant inpact on speed of the boat. I thought about doing it to my boat, but like ROLO, I was afraid that it wouldn't stick to poly.
