: I'm trying to execute some repairs on my brothers kayak. First let me say
: this, I have never done any boat building or worked with epoxy. I have a
: kayak kit that I will be starting after I fix up my brothers.

: Ok, the coaming lip has deteriated and started to delaminate. So I pulled it
: off. I think the veneer layer that was glued to the coaming riser stayed,
: but I don't think that matter, correct? The riser seems to be in good
: condition. So I plan to reuse it. Now my question, do I have to use
: okoume? or are there other plywood options for me? (like ones that I may
: be able to pick up at the local home center) Also, what is the best way to
: create a pattern for the coaming lip? The lip came off in MANY pieces.
: Then, do I need to fiberglass the lip? Maybe I should stop here and see
: what your responses are before I ask any more questions.

: Thanks in advance.

Well...first, what boat is it, how's it built? It's a little hard with nothing to go by.
