Re: Plank width
Simply split a full sized one ( 1 and 1/8th) in half, bead and cove it and use the two pieces in place of the one full one till you are past the troublesome area. The split pieces will match up and give you the look of the full normal sized strip.
Hope the makes sense to you

Re: epoxy sanding advice
drips and runs are more easily handled with a scraper followed by sanding. I would suggest vacuuming and then washing down with a clean cloth and water.

Re: angle cut on planks near bottom stem?
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l272/denis_045/Canadien%202010/DSC00077Large.jpg I found an image which might be of some assistance to you if you are still having a problem understanding when to stop planking on both sides and filling in on side only. As you can see the inner stem is not fully co...

Re: angle cut on planks near bottom stem?
If you are 4 planks down from the stern stem (freedom 17) you can likely add a few more planks on both sides then start filling in one side only till the centre line is covered completely. Be sure to number your strips as you fill in one side to ensure you will have a matching strip for the other si...

Re: Epoxy/Fiberglass thickness
As told when cloth is buried it is thick enough. The final result is very thin, not much thicker than the cardboard on a cereal box. Just be sure to brush on a thick coating as the third coat being sure to brush it out at////// then \\\\\\\ before a final horizontal brushing.or if using a roller per...

Re: Blotchy Hull Advice
If you still have time and access to a 1/2 sheet or 1/3 sheet flat sander perhaps dampen hull again and sand with 180. I find the final sanding with 180 gives a cleaner look after it is glassed. It seems to my eye anyway finishing with 120 (which is where i usually stop ) leaves it a bit muddy looki...

Re: gluing pegs into stems
Usually just cut the plugs level, sand, and epoxy after. The epoxy will lock it in place.

Re: Scuppered inwales question
cutting on hull side esp for outwale reduces the amount of end grain exposed and also retains a very smooth curve , hence the reason it is recommended by Canoecraft.

Re: Scuppered inwales question
Hi W
cut taper on boat side for both inwale and outwale, makes a very neat non clunky look
