Might give it a shot

I hate dealing with epoxy and its issues.

Last winter I resealed a Hab's Jr. that had begun to split with Helmsman urethane. I dunked it and let it drip off. 2 Coats. Then let it cure until fishing season. That stuff is hard as hell, but a bit on the amber side.

Hook rash will always be an issue, but keeping the rocks and teeth at bay might just be easier with a 1 part coating that is easy to use.

Amazon has this Garco for $31 per quart. Not bad.

I have a few cans and jars of goop laying around, too. I did try waterbased poly-U once with decent results. Don't know why I didn't go back for further review. I suspect it's not the same as water activated tho.

A number of two part epoxies do have a shelf life.
