Hi,
I wonder if there are any pics showing the stripping at the two stems.

I was concerned about heating in the sun. If I am out with the yak, or even with it beached for awhile, the deck will be getting full sunlight for long periods of time. I imagine the darker WRC could heat up.
Yellow glue tends to soften with heat so I don't want to risk de-laminating deck strips over time.
Does anyone else worry about this?

Rob
