Hello,

For building a fiberglass kayak, I was wondering what the different methods are for joining a hull to a deck. I am familiar with the whitewater seam-tape method. I've been told that you can build up the two halves where they join and then merely epoxy them together. I've also read that you can everlap the deck onto the hull. That seems to me to be a fairly strong option. Which method is easy, yet still strong? Are there any downsides to the various methods?

I just joined this bulletin board, I hope it's OK to ask a question about fiberglass construction (instead of wood.)

Thanks, Dave
