Kayak fix

My Kayak is being prepared for to be sold. I thought I needed to fix a couple of leaks first before putting an ad out so the last two days has partly been spent fixing it. Yesterday I bought some fiberglass mat to cover the small cracks in the front and the stern. The resin, mixed with hardener used to stick the mat on to the boat with has been hardening overnight and has been sanded down and polished today. This is what it looks like. Not pretty but tight. Or nearly anyway, there might still be some small cracks I can't see but I thought it must be up to the next owner to get to know the boat and to fix it properly, if necessary. It feels a bit sad to part from it but I'm hardly ever using it due to back pain. Better to let someone else love it and use it for many more years.
