In Response To: luan plywood for kayaks (Duane)

I've been considering expoxying the wood before I start my next kayak. I'd suggest giving the entire sheet a light sanding before using the wood. This should be relatively easy when the wood is lying flat.

I actually got the idea from a kayak builder named George Roberts. Mr. Roberts seems a person of strong opinions and none too subtle prose. These charms aside, his web site (http://www.robertscpa.com/george/construction.htm) has some interesting ideas and some links that are worth pursuing.
