Hey folks! My lovely dog jumped up on my yet to be glassed Redbird. Raw cedar strips. Claws made some nice scratch lines. Can I use a wet towel and an iron to raise the scratches? Will the wood glue seperate when heated? Man, this sucks. Thanks for looking. Tony

Thanks I feel better now.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red bird is ready for epoxy and I cant afford to purchase right now. This is killing me.

Hey Dennis, I was thinking the same thing. The guy in sac was kinda rude though. have you tried theirs yet? Tony in no cal

Thanks guys, I am using West Systems. Tony

Would 1 gal. of resin be enough to do the outside of the Redbird 17-6. Thanks, Tony

Thanks Glen. I Dont have any of the dark cedar left. Could I use Redwood dust? (no wrc in my area) Tony

Which is better, Microlite 407, or 410 for filling in gaps on hull? Also do you use sanding dust from your own sanding or is this somthing you can get from West systems? If you use your own then I guess you would jump ahead and do some sanding, Right? Thank You, Tony

I almost did that but I thought I better ask first.

Canoe Craft says to plane the stem so that it flows into the rocker of the hull. Any tips or advice on this ? Thank You, Tony (Redbird)

thanks guys,
Tony

In canoe craft, It says to apply unthickend catlized epoxy to the end of the thirsty planks. What is catlized epoxy?

Thanks Glen, Thats what I thought. Tony

Should the sheerline @ stem molds be extended to the outside of the inside stem ? ( Redbird). Thanks, Tony in paradise.
