: I am a high school wood shop teacher and I have had several students build
: stitch and epoxy kayaks. Today we have noticed that when attaching a sheer
: clamp a student made two left sides. The only Idea we have come up with so
: far is to put an inside and outside sheer clamp on each side and treat the
: extra as a rub rail.Is this even possible? Is there a better fix out
: there?

Hi Roger. My sheer clamps have always just been 1x1s and it didn't matter which side was which; that's what is confusing me. I guess, if you're mitering the two sheer clamps together at each end then that would mess it up. The compound miter is optional; you can just trim that part off and let the clamps stop short of the bow/stern and then do end pours into those spaces. The rubrails are optional and can be added last. What design are they building.
