: Sounds like the epoxy wasn't dry yet. How long after it was applied did you
: paddle?

Probably just a couple of days. After 3 months building it in my old dungeon
of a basement workshop I just "had" to paddle it. I built a woodstrip canoe
down there once and had to remove the platform on the stairs to get the boat
upstairs. Not learning my lesson, I later removed the entire stairway to get
a spruce geodetic ultralight wing out. In a two year span, I built four
strippers. That computes to living 6-7 months per year in the basement. Ah,
the good old days.

Keep up the good work,

Tom
