does the outer layer of material seal the water out or does water get between the two lawers ?

Yes, a little water gets in between the layers. I bring an old towel and swab out a bit after a partial deflation. That solves the problem.

My friend, for the most part, it is a great 2-layer system even though it doesn't completely keep all the water out. I found that depending on the water you are in, you may have to do a good cleaning and drying later. Lake Victoria in Africa has a parasite type snail that finds its way between the layers and gets messy after a day or two with out a good cleaning. The everglades and like water, also invite small bugs and such to stow away. Still... it is a great kayak and as with all great sports equipment, one must take care of it properly for it to take care of you.Many safe travels and cheers to you :) My friend, for the most part, it is a great 2-layer system even though it doesn't completely keep all the water out.

So far the outer layer does seal the water off of the inner layer. Nice kayaks!

You wanna use this outside to prevent water from coming inside your house,basement or garage. It becomes like a barrier

The water does not directly hit the liner, but I have not noticed any leakage

Yes, the elastic inside the cap edge keeps the water out. Elastic lasts a long time.

anyplace that hits air it will seal . if u mean an internal seal don't think so. make sure that u totally follow the instrucitons about draining and flushing .

No. And careful. My son got water in his phone. He had a screen protector film on his and the seal on the product did not work.

It does not allow moisture to seep through the bottom. I have not had a problem with moisture seeping through it yet.

It is a liquid epoxy that forms a tight seal membrane when it dries. I used it on my basement where the water was leaking between the floor and wall seam. So far, after two years, it has not leaked. The company has great customer service. They replaced a can of their product that had crystalized. I suspect it was too old; their small cans of the stuff probably sit around. Their response was immediate with an apology. Be sure to mix each can separately BEFORE you mix them together.

Same with this one. It moves water just fine but is not sealed. You need some additional valving.

Yes and no. Some water will seep in through the seems at the top. The stitching essentially pokes holes in the inner waterproof coating and water can seep in through these holes. I sealed the seams on my own with some silicone caulk.

I can not see or feel any silicone between the glass sides and the metal base. It appears as if the sealing is done below the metal heating element so it does not come in contact with the water.

No, it's a tight fit between the ring and the base but water can slip by, I think fine sand could too. I tape over the rings when I pick up sand or dirt. Otherwise they work very well

I don't know for sure, but it seems that it is somewhat water tight so that it wouldn't ruin the unit.

We use the wet/dry vac if there is a lot of standing water, we have never had water leak over the edges. If it's just a little water, it evaporates. Great not having water all over the garage floor!

Yes. We used for quite a while in wet conditions and didn't have any water leak through.

The fact is it is supposed to be covered with water at all times. I did allow mine to get the top half uncovered and did not cause any damage. I would not recommend letting any part of it to not be submerged completely.

The case as ive used it is sealed and waterproof. That said I would only use it under water for a meter or two. Anymore and the pressure may affect the case. You have to test the case first to ensure there is no seepage. Still the best all weather case I have used.
