: Hey Scott,
: YEah I'm guessing pretty much anything can be put into a boat as far as in
: lay with this caveate. The material should be pourus or rough enough to
: accept the epoxy. sticking to it in all the torquing and bashing aboutthat
: is a boats life. My rocks probobly don't meet that criteria. So
: sandwiching them between glass and epoxy is the experiement. I don't know
: how well that will work long term. IT may end up being Nothing but a
: bubble. I'll ahve to see how it works out long term. In any such thing.
: The best idea is probobly to do testing building a mock up board first and
: then torquing on it twisting it beating it etc.

: Good luck in your searches for materieals and material experiemnts.

Russ, you have so many innovative ideas and I am always about a month away from catching on. And then its OH-YAL. The arrow head I found while trying out my kayak last August in the BWAC has been laying in front of me all winter and I never had a clue about inserting rocks as an inlay until just now. The arrow head is 1 ¾" long and 1 3/8" wide, and about ¼" thick. If I sink it low enough in the deck maybe I can pour a clear smooth window of epoxy over it and then fiberglass over it. Good ideas Russ. I’ll be waiting for the next one.
