I was thinking shaving off that millimeter of wood plus the paint would save me some weight verses just sanding and painting over.
It's not going to take a whole veneer ( had to look that up). It will cut into the first one, some, but not all the way. The stiffness I get is...
I understand, but it could offset some of the weight. It's about 12 sq. ft. that needs to be planed, plus it has the old paint and primer. It...
Thank you for the reply. I could use the grinder as I have two of those (variable speed Makita car polishers). As far as getting it evenly...
I've spliced the tub of a kayak I built a couple years ago to a new front and rear, but the 1/4" ply I used for the original build (and the tub)...
I hear you guys and appreciate the info, but no water is getting to these seams. That said, there is not enough rigidity unless I use double...
Took some force to get one end off with a common construction hammer. I tried to get the denim to tear in one corner, but all it did was pull free...
I built a shoe box (without a lid) 3 days ago using the 'Max' glue and 2" wide strips of denim. I thinned the glue a little to get it to soak in...
There are a number of kayak carriers you can put on your roof, including suction cup carriers. When you tie it down running your straps through...
Here is what I want to do with the canvas and wood glue, but only on the interior. All the exterior edges are slightly rounded off and any small...
Finally got a day off where I could work on the thing. Yes, all joints are matched and everything is 90 degree angles. It basically looks like a...
PM sent.
This is the first boat I did at over 90lbs. I've cut it up so that I can redo it using the existing tub, but the scarf joints, as you say, had to...
Please forgive, but I don't understand what you mean by 'strip'.
My third one, fully completed, is 79lbs (18' X 22.5"). I didn't go overkill in the stringers and bulkhead braces and used smaller screws. First...
For small boats such as kayaks and such, I'm curious to know if anyone has used or tried using water proof wood glue with fiber glass for holding...
A little update, here. I have everything put together except the deck. All bulkheads are in as well. Once I got everything on the outside shaped...
I have no way of getting a pic on here, at the moment. I wish I did.
I have a couple beams with some things already glued or attached and these beams need to twist a little to butt up. How can I do this without...
Got it. Thanks. I'm just going to epoxy the entire shell and call it a day.
