Re: Strip: Epoxy vs. PVC for laminations
In Response To: Re: Strip: Epoxy vs. PVC for laminations (Allan)
Good to hear. Epoxy would have been a nightmare to handle thru all this clamping. And I didn't think PVC sounded right :)
: I assume you mean PVA rather than PVC.
: Logic tells me that as a good PVA joint is usually stronger than
: the timber itself and as the joints are encapsulated in glass
: and epoxy, there should not be a problem.
: Experience tells me exactly the same thing. None of the seven
: kayaks I have built that way have had any problems.
: The coaming is best reinforced with extra glass, not different
: glue.
