: OK Nick, now it is your turn to offer useful information to someone
: else.

: What are the timbers you used? Did you add pinstripes between the
: pale timber in the centre or was that some effect that the glue
: had on your timber? Assuming you added pinstipes, did you find
: it easier to attach then to the strips before you fixed the
: strips in place or did you fit them after the main strips were
: in place on the forms?

Hi All, Had to work a few days(yuk). Well I have opted to go with the majority and install a temporary skeg using clear silicone, it is
strong and removable I will keep you posted on the tracking after the "sea trials". Allan; I a'm more than happy to share any building
technique's BUT please let me warn you I am a newbe to kayak building my background is in home construction and kitchen cabinets
there is a huge wealth of information on this forum.There are builders that turn out"drop dead gorgeous boats, some are professional
boat builders and repair men some marine engineers and I could go on( hope I haven't missed anyone)unfortunately you picked a
beginner, if you wish you can email me -nicola91028@gmail.com hope this helps and as always Thanks to All. Nick R.
