: I'd trust Nick, but I wonder if he meant the glue bond between the
: strips was failing. There are/were a heck of alot of redwood
: stripped canoes built and never heard of any problems. Titebond
: doesn't like high temperatures and can soften and let loose if
: used on a dark colored deck that's left (used?) in the sun for a
: long time. But polyurethane glues work fine for that and better
: resist the higher temperatures, so that shouldn't be an issue.

: Never heard of any problems at all with the glass to redwood bond,
: nor have I ever had any. Havn't used it in quite awile, though
: I'd like to, our supply around here has pretty much dried up.

Thanks Bill

Unless someone posts a really horrible account of some massive failure, I think I'll probably go for it. Thanks for the tip about the glue.
