: I've just started my first kayak, an S&G Folland Sea Wolf. The kit come with
: East epoxy, which seem to me to work fine. Trying to keep things tidy, I
: masked off plywood and sheer faces where I didn't want extra epoxy to run.
: I did a wet out coat, followed by a thickened 'glue' coat while the first
: coat was still wet. Except for the fact that I used too much epoxy, I'm
: pleased with the joints I've made. But epoxy had gone under the masking
: tape, so the plywood now has a ragged line instead of the neat line I'd
: expected. Is this normal? Is there a way to make a clean edge?

One of the desirable characteristics of epoxy is it soaks in to stuff. This means that it will bleed under tape. You could probably score a line with a utilitie knife where you want a sharp edge, but I wouldn't count on it without experimenting first.
