: 25-lb bags of salt
Bobby,
Could use some of that salt right about now, the road in's a sheet of ice. A wile back I attempted Marc Pettingill's Sweet Dream. Ignoring his admonitions I attempted to use 5mm lauan. During the process weights are needed to hold things in place. I grabbed a couple of forty lbs. bags of water softener salt. The bags have nice handles. Everything went well for a while, but when I almost had the second stem formed the center ply lam's wood fibers let go with big rip. But the salt bags worked well!
: 25-lb bags of salt
I swear I’ll never torture lauan again! All was not lost; the salvaged material became my first kayak.
Regards,
Geo. C.
