The Bear Mountain Boat Shop

I have been getting ready for another summer of kayaking.There are quite a few light scratches on the bottom I was thinking of revarnishing the bottom is this a good idea and should you sand first.

Glen how many people and boats attended this event,I could't make it as my daughter was having a baby,are there any more events in the works.

Has anyone added a skag to their kayak in stead of a rudder if so send info.Thanks

What is the best way to cover light scratches on the hull also what do you recommend when you have deeper scratches down to the weave of the glass.

Has anyone used the dust collected after sanding the fiberglassed hull and deck as a thickening agent for epoxy.If so what were the results.

Has anyone had any experience doing this when you run out of filler,does it work the same as store bought thickenersor does it compromise the strength of the epoxy.Thanks

I was wondering why in kayak craft epoxy resin is used to glue up stems,combing and hatch.Would a high quality wood glue not work just as well.I use a GF glue for cabinet making,this is the same glue I used to glue cedar strips.Thanks

Has anyone changed the plans for 17 ft Endever i would like to build a kayak 15.5 ft long as i already have lots of cedar that is 16ft planks.I have finished a 17ft already and love it.
