: I have had delamination problems with redwood. My first Expedition Single has
: a lot of RW and I eventually ended up peeling off the glass. It came
: easily off the redwood while remained bonded quite well to the WR cedar
: and pine. I know other people have used RW on some boats that are pretty
: old now, but I am starting to think that RW is questionable.

All of my strippers(8) were made of redwood/epoxy.
Non ever delaminated, but on my first attempt at
using redwood, I tried using Polyester resin with
disasterous results. Live and learn, or is that
trial and error.

Time for the tour. Go Lance.
