: I have an older fiberglass kayak with a hull design that I like very much. I

: strip deck. I am seeking helpful info from others who might have already
: done this. The only info I have found to date is some pictures of the
: Wooden Nickel Kits which use a shear
: clamp.http://www.woodennickelkayaks.com/index2.html

: Thanks in advance,

Hi Chuck,
Can't help with detail but I have seen similar on F/G runabouts, F/G hull and sheathed wooden deck. There wasn't any problems with thermal expansion or the like causing seperation problems.
