In Response To: S&G: Stitchless S&G technique ? (skiffrace)

: One of the forum members mentioned that it is possible to build
: "Stitch and Glue" kayak without using any stitches.
: It appears he suggested using glue to hold the panels together prior to
: epoxying instead.

: Does anyone have any idea how this works, or have actually built a boat this
: way?

Uhm, I think my next post will be "how to stitch the panels using the will power and olive oil (low viscosity)?" and see how it goes.

Actually I am still trying to decide which kayak to build, once that is settled the construction technique will need to be decided next.

My initial inclination is to try a few panels using the tape/glue method.
If that goes well I may proceed to do the whole thing this way.
Otherwise, I hope it will be easy to peel-off the tape and go back to wiring.

Thanks everybody for your input.
