Hey guys,
Getting the search narrowed down on a new canoe purchase, one consideration is obviously longevity / maintenance / what type of condition the canoe will be in down the line. For older epoxy canoes I see a lot of references to the epoxy taking on a “chalky” characteristic with age. Understood this can be maintained and restored, however prior to that when people say “chalky”, do they mean:
1) A cloudy appearance only (no actual “chalk”)
or
2) Actual epoxy breakdown particles with physical chalky dust on the surfaces of the canoe
Thanks for any insight!
