A discussion the other day was about 1/8" luan (aka, door skin). After a long search in my midwest area, I found some. I plan to build some light duty recreation touring yaks for the wife and kids. My question, however, has to do with the type of glue used in the luan. Whereas "The Kayak Shop" mentioned using plywood with a waterproof (aliphatic?) glue (i.e., if not okume or other marine grade, it specified the use of exterior grade luan), Nick's book suggests using glue for stripping that doesn't necessarily need to be waterproof. I learned that the local 1/8" luan supplier has only interior grade panels. Is this going to matter when I plan to saturate and sandwich the stuff between two layers of epoxy/cloth? Like the earlier discussion also, I plan to make a hybrid S&G-Stripper by stripping the deck on at least the first model using various woods. Thanks in advance. }:) Paul
