Following a long pause while the new resin was shipped to the house, taking down holiday (Christmas) decorations, and waiting for temperatures to get back to normal from the cold snap - it was time once again to venture to the confines of the garage and get back to work on the kayak. This first picture is taken just after I got done wiping the deck down to remove any residual dust. The 4' wide bench has been removed and I'm supporting the boat with 2 sawhorses and some brackets. I can get a bit closer and reach inside easier. 
I have been keeping the resin inside for the past few days - at a constant temperature of 66 degrees. I then sat the resin in front of the heater for 20 minutes to give it a short burst of heat. In this picture, I've put down resin on the stern section. You can see the dull finish forward of the rear cockpit. 
The resin has been applied with the 7" wide roller, brushed under the cockpit combing, and smoothed out with a 4" foam brush. It's now very glossy looking and curing. I'll check in the morning to see how it looks. The garage is currently at 63 degrees and 60 percent humidity.
