Atlanta Boat Show
Here are a couple of pictures from the
show.
Talking about
strip building
while three
young men
prepare to ask
dad for a cedar
kayak of their
own.
In five days time I managed to get a
total of 7 inches of strips done... not
really a blistering pace!
Much more important was the fun I had
talking with visitors and explaining the
strip building process.
Strings above and below,
plumbed to each other, insure
the truest possible aignment to
the beam, and that 6x7 inch
plywood beam won't flex!
Titebond provided HiPurformer hot melt
polyurethane for the show.
It proved excellent when I needed to create
a strong, fast, permanent bond. All of the
forms are held to the beam with
HiPurformer, providing a much more solid
attachment than screws.
Strips are edged glued using Titebond III, a
remarkably strong, reliable and waterproof
adhesive far superior to yellow capenters
glue or the foaming polyurethanes.
