Boat designers, builders and owners may find this development to be of interest. A University of Utah bio-engineer has come to grips with the chemical content of the Caddis Fly larva's ability to glue bits of stuff together underwater and have it hang together in extremely fast moving streams.

Yes, once again, I'm posting an information piece about bio-based, renewable resource adhesives that might apply to boatbuilding in the near future. Hopefully, fresh developments of this sort will be able to take us away from a need to utilize petro-chemical, non-renewable resources for our boating interests.
