: who had a kayak with absolutely no glass at all, just glued

: Apparently it was still in use at the time of posting. 3-ml
: seems kind of thin for a kayak with no glass on the outside. If
: you're gonna go that thin, I'd say glass the entire inside

: inside tapes would work just fine...but don't hit any rocks.
