Thanks Glen. Our decks as you know have lots of concave front to back. But we expect the side to side to be pretty flat so we prorably have more wood to take off but a bit easier job overall (skill-wise) to get it right. I was assuming this would be another (of many) example where I need to apply so...

power planer. This idea is intriguing. I don't own a power planer and this might be an opportunity to buy a new tool (this project has been fantastic for generating excuses to buy new tools :smile ). But the design of our decks and the amount of recurve on our Redbird make it difficult to see how we...

I'd like to add a PS to Glen's note. I lost lots of sleep thinking about glassing our (first) canoe a few months ago. I read every website google and the great talents on this board pointed to. It was immensely valuable. I imagined all the things that could go wrong. But once the epoxy started to fl...

West System 207 is claimed to include UV protection but I've never seen anyone suggeest that it is sufficient by itself.... From West System's website: An ultraviolet inhibiting additive improves the resistance of a WEST SYSTEM 105/207 mixture to sunlight, but the cured epoxy surface will still requ...

Seal gunwales before installing or after?
We're sneaking up on our gunwales. They are all bent. One inwale is cut to length and (dry)fits perfectly in our hull. We'll tackle the other one tomorrow night. I've seen reference to sealing the gunwales before installing them (BTW, we're going to epoxy them on). We intend to seal the surface faci...

I've never done it alone (I still can't figure out how you guys build a canoe all by yourself) and only done it with help once (so I'm no expert). But as Patrick and I worked to fiberglass our canoe this winter, it was clear to me that having a 3rd person would have been helpful. Here's how I would ...
