Sweet! Great idea, Dale!

: Here's an idea in case any of you haven't thought of this yet.

: I had a gap between a couple strips that was unacceptable. I had already
: glued on the next strip so tape wasn't going to make it come back
: together. I just glued on a couple of scraps to the outside and clamped
: them in place. I went to work on a different area, and came back to it an
: hour later. I just squirted some glue in the gap, sucked it up with a
: clamp, and went to bed. When I checked on it in the morning the glue held
: with no problem.

: Later I took off one block with a spoke shave and one with a dremel with a
: drum sander attachment. Both ways worked great.

: Go to http://photos.yahoo.com/fastmountainbiker click on the kayak folder
: and look for picture glue_blocks.
