Micro balloons?? anyone use 'em?
I am about to start my first kayak with a kit from CLC. I am concerned about keeping the weight down. will I save much using microballoons for my fillets and such? Are their any other insider tips to keep weight down without sacrificing strength too bad? can I do things like rip down my shear clamps a bit or am I asking for trouble? any wit or wisdom will be appreciated -thanks
