With your deck already installed you're probably going to need to screw the ends of your outwalls to the hull. Don't forget to wax the screws for removal after the epoxy cures then plug the holes. You could also counterbore the screws in those areas and plug the holes. A couple bar clamps with thick...

Thanks for all the input guys. The Epifanes product that Glen refers to is a synthetic wood finish available in gloss and matte. From what I read in the West Marine Advisor these synthetics were developed for use over tropical hardwoods because of the oil content of the wood. The really great featur...

Doug and Bassbug thanks for the quick replies! My reasons for using gloss first: I have a full quart leftover from my last canoe and I've heard of this being done with poly on furniture finishes. Since my post I checked West Marine catalog and discovered that their varnish products, ZSPAR, INTERLUX,...

gloss vs. semi-gloss
Has anyone in the forum used semi-gloss varnish inside and outside? Were you happy with the results? Can I use gloss for the first two coats and semi for the last two? Really interested in your feedback. Thanks!

Does anyone have a source for bronze ring bolts? I'd like a 1 1/2 to 2 inch ring, 2 inch shank, 1/4 inch thick. I've checked many sources with no luck. Thanks for any help.

Jeff, I would suggest a Bob Special for the following reasons: 1. ease of construction 2. Your size and weight is going to max out most solo designs, the same problem I have. 3. Plenty of room for fishing gear, cooler, significant other The Rob Roy I'm building now would be perfect for a smaller per...

fitting inwalls
Following Canoecraft instructions for measuring and fitting inwalls has not worked well for me. The inwalls on my last canoe and rowboat have come up an 1/8 inch short. I tried something different this week on my Bob Special. I clamped my inwall material on the outside allowing excess to entend past...
