: Check this link from Redfish. This is the method I used. There are
: some other techniques I have seen add to this method that help.
: One is to cover the whole layup with wax paper and a few pounds
: of sand to keep pressure on the curing epoxy. I used a half inch
: wide seal. I will use 3/8" next time and also will go
: smaller on the magnets (1/2" to 3/8"). The lip just
: got too wide and the magnets too strong! The barrier is shelf
: paper availible at Ace hardware. The rare earth magnets come
: from Woodcraft. The boat is almost done so I will have some
: completed pictures soon...if all goes well.

John,
Any chance that boat will make it to the Northwest Paddle Festival? I'd love to see it up close!
