In Response To: S&G: shear clamps: bevel for inside boat? (wwfloyd)

: Greetings. First post. My previous build was a Pygmy Osprey, and had no shear
: clamps. As I get ready to start a CLC Shearwater 16 Hybrid, I'm starting
: to wonder: won't those shear clamps be a sharp edge inside the kayak,
: where one's knees might hit them? Does anyone bevel them? Or, am I missing
: something that makes this not a problem? Thanks

I would, especially if you also want to tape the deck to the hull with fibreglass. It won't conform to a normal shear clamp.
