Ted,

Whatever you're doing it sure WORKS! And like they say the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Looks like 'gorilla' glue works great for you (I used it for a few strips, but after looking at it under a microscope I didn't like the look of the thousands of air bubbles and what looked to me like an expanded joint). But if you can produce such a beautifully tight wood pattern by using it then I can only agree with you that it is a good glue. By the way, were the strips you used in this photo B&C or were they a square joint? Just curious if you think there may be a difference in appearence between the 2 (I used B&C for the hull and square for the deck).

Great woodwork, thanks for the photo, Joe

Actually, everybody uses some epoxy as a glue
