: Looks like a great idea, but I was just wondering why you wait 24 hours to do
: the other side. How about 15 minutes instead?

: I bought some 15 minute epoxy from a hobby shop for glueing things together.
: I've been building paddles lately and it's going pretty fast. I just hop
: back and forth from paddle to paddle while the epoxy cures on the other
: one. They also sell 5 minute epoxy, but it can be too fast to get the
: epoxy spread out and the parts put together.

I have been wondering how i was going to do it, are the t nuts made of stainless? I saw some bond-on stud looking things at my local fiberglass supply pplace but the guy said they were only a display for an adhisive and he did not know where to find them.It joged my memory of a product I once saw in a windsurfing mag. the thing was called an x-sert an alternitive to boring holes in epoxy sanwich boards forattaching footstraps. I can't find the article (must be in a box somewhere). Do you have any info on paddle making if sp please pass it on. thanls.... Phil
: I've got one paddle all built and sanded and the other one is 3/4 done, then
: I've got to glass them.

: I'm going to have to follow your lead on this and install the foot pegs with
: T-nuts.
