Maybe hide glue? :)

Sounds like a neat old boat. I'm glad you were able to build a new life for it.

: I still have some of scrapes that I cut out of the old hull, and everytime I
: look at them I am amazed. I am very experienced with epoxy/wood
: construction ---35 + years--- and there is no way that an epoxy/wood hull
: would have survived this sort of exposure. I think the glue is resorcinal.
: I also think that the heat and pressure during the glueing process
: considerably compressed the wood. If you would like me to I can send you a
: little piece of it.

: Enjoy,
