In Response To: Strip: Will this glue show? (Pete)

Pete, I have the same problem on my first kayak and just left it alone, I used cove and bead system and where ever I didnot get the bead down tight into the cove it left small puddles of glue, after sanding and glassing the yak looked great, but after a year in the hot Florida sun it drew some of the glue to the surface leaving the same problem you have. Since it was my first kayak I chalked it off to experience, after that I used the rolling bevel system and had no more problems with glue stain, hope this helps, good luck which ever way you go Nick R.
