In Response To: Strip: Hull Issues (Outkayaking)

: I bought someone else's partially completed project and I'm having some
: problems with the hull. The hull was complete (planed and sanded) and
: generally quite nice. The problem is that some of the strips have pulled
: apart in places - in some cases up to 18" where I have 1/16" gap
: between the cove and bead strips.

: I've tried several things to get the strips glued back together, but have
: been unsuccessful.

: My next idea is to mix up a batch of epoxy and use it on the inside of the
: hull (in between the forms of the internal strongback) in hopes of holding
: the strips together and closing the gaps.

: Any thoughts on that idea?

: Thanks...

As long as it's not too visible it won't matter.
