: I'm using the same select pine on my first kayak. I used two 12'
: lengths for the gunwales, spliced them with a vertical joint
: (Makkusiineq), and cut one end to length so the joint sets just
: aft of the cockpit. It took some planning to make sure there
: were no deck beams or rib mortises interfering with the joint. I
: pegged, lashed, and even glued the joints with Urac 185. I
: haven't seen that glue mentioned in kayak builds, but it's
: similar to Resorcinal boat building glue and much cheaper. It's
: waterproof and an excellent gap filler, so it is tolerant of
: poor mating surfaces. It also doesn't creep over time like
: yellow wood glues. The only downsides are that it is a bit of a
: hassle to mix the resin and powder by weight, shelf life is a
: year (unless refrigerated), and there is a minimum 65 degree
: curing temperature (a problem for winter garage builds unless
: you bring the parts indoors for gluing like I did). Urac is the
: favored glue for all-wooden laminated longbows, where the joint
: is under tremendous stress. Seems ideal for kayaks.
I'll see if I can figure out how to add a photo...
