In Response To: Good Bending Answer - thank you (Lloyd E. Peterson)

: First, thank you for addressing my concern about bending following a epoxy
: seal coat.

: This apparently not a problem.

with thicker seals, severe bending might just be if no heat is used - the thicker the sealcoat, the more that side of the ply will resist compression thereby possibly breaking the other side on concave bends. but with the simple bending of most yaks, prob not an issue. i plan on trying out thicker sealcoats for the next s&g curvy yak to see if there are benefits or problems.

: So what stage is this boat of your picture? I'd sure like to see more of it.

i guess its been in the water for 8 mos or so now. fairly scratched up. follow the links for some other earlier pics:
