http://www.kayakforum.com/cgi-bin/Building/archive.pl/

There are messages going back to 1997 in there, about 200,000 posts. I've archived the all threads that start before January 1, 2011. Interestingly, since this archived by thread the "Graphite Powder is Fantasy" thread go put to bed: http://www.kayakforum.com/cgi-bin/Building/archive.pl/bid/13/page/1/md/read/id/182095/sbj/epoxy-graphite-powder/

We are still working on the ability search. It will return.
