    Do you fill the void inside with foam? Would it make a difference, float more? Amazing craftmanship btw.

  • @martini7454

    Air floats. Foam only traps air bubbles, and thus floats less than air given it's weight. So adding foam would only add weight. However, if a kayaker swims out of their kayak and the boat fills with water, having something to displace water helps keep the kayak floating. This brings us to float bags. Some kayakers will add 'float bags' which are just plastic/rubber bags of air that *displace* water if the kayaker swims out of the boat. You can google 'kayak float bag' for images. Cheers! :)

    We have 3 Parts of the mould, but you have to destroy the foam shape. For the PE kayaks you haven't any problem when it's warm enough.

    Awesome. I want to make my own kayak but out of kevlar or carbon... neber occured to me that i could rotomold it. Hmmm can you really heat up the mould made from glass fibers and epoxi resin? What did you use for plastic ? Seems like a lot of work. Good job guys. And how many kayaks can you make out of that mould ?

    yeh you can do it thatway but there are others as well and much less time consuming. with the huge number of cracked and wornout whitewater kayaks around you are better off getting a hot air plastic welder and going the frankenstein method.
