I am about to fiberglass and epoxy the hull of my Shearwater hybid sport kayak. I only want the bottom of the kayak to be epoxied with graphite. How do I separate and keep the graphit epoxied bottom of the hull from the sides? Would appreciate any suggestions.

Fine line tape is your friend.

x2. Just be careful with the roller. The graphite is tough to remove, if you cross the line. Keep the denatured alchohol or white vinegar close by. Even then you might have to sand the residue off if you get carried away.
