31. Graphics & Logos

I have been researching how to put graphics and logos on the kayak and I think I have struck gold. I ordered Japanese rice paper from Amazon. Once I found the image I wanted the experiment was on. I taped the thin rice paper to a regular piece of paper and printed on the laser printer. After cutting out the print, epoxy is applied to the wood and the the graphic laid on. As it wets out, anything that is white disappears as it soaks up epoxy, leaving only the colored image. Once it cures in a few hours we will take a look to see how it goes.
