: Hi all,

: Thanks all for the responses. Sounds like there's no "wrong"
: answer, just a matter of what works for each person, the amount of drying
: time you want to allow, and how hard you want the clean-up to be.

: Although I'm a fan of the apiphatic resins, it's brittleness 9as a couple of
: posters pointed out) may be an issue in a kayak that's under stresses from
: swells, beach landings, etc. So I may go for TB II or similar for a bit of
: flexibility - and faster drying than normal PVA.

: Thanks again...I'll beposting pics when I get started!

As has been mentioned before, the glue mostly only has to keep the strips together until it's glassed. Once glassed the glass holds everything together. Ideally it's best if the glue continues to hold
