Hello all I am getting ready to start building a stitch and glue kayak. I have found some oak plywood that is 1\8th inch. I want to use this stuff for the hull. Anyone had any experience with this? will oak take epoxy well? If the oak will take epoxy well, I'm probably going to use it. I'll be laying fiberglass over the hull. I built a stitch and glue with 1\4 inch ply, the thing weighs a ton, it is only 14.5'x26". The new one will be 18.5'x22". I think I read on this bb a long time ago that someone used doorskins for the hull and all was well. Any advice would be appreciated!!!
