: I agree, but for toggles I think I would want to wrap the clay around a strip
: of wood or plastic before it gets cooked to make sure it wouldn't break in
: half :( Other bits/pieces like recessed fittings could probably just be
: epoxied/varnished. We should know by this weekend if any of this crap is
: worth a damn. It's fun tryin'. I'll let you know.

You'll want something just as tough for deck fittings. If you or your paddling buddy is grabbing a deckline to do a rescue in rough water, you don't want them breaking either!

Way cool idea! I love the thoughts you're coming up with.

Do you have boats for all the grab loops you've built? :D
