I might have to look into doing this, if I opt to keep scarfing. One per night ain't all that bad, compared to all the time those strip guys put in, but I'd like to be done with the kayak by the time the local waterways warm up enough for a wetsuit.

I'll have to try the waxed paper. Used Syranwrap (or whatever cheap knockoff we had laying around the house), and it stuck to the Gorilla Glue that eased out from the joint. It wasn't a big issue, since I wanted to clean up the glue anyway.

: I do it a similiar way with epoxied scarfs, except I glue them all
: up at once, just wrap waxed paper between them and they don't
: become one big board again :)

: I have a 1x12 table with a 1x2 screwed to one side that I epoxy
: them on, this way they are all straight, awfully easy to make a
: crooked scarf.
