Both of my canoes were epoxied with Raka, one with a friend to mix and one (a 20 footer) solo. It is indeed thin, penetrates well, and gave me a long work time in my semi-heated shop. It cured even though the temps were in the 50's and below. I only use a squeegee, having tried rollers and found the...

Hello Newman (Hello Jerry), I try to be sure that the colors match side to side the best I can. I think it looks awkward to have a strong color difference where the pieces come together.

Sluggo, Not sure what kind of webbing you are thinking about...the stuff used for patio furniture? I have woven the seats for both my canoes from the synthetic webbing available at HH Perkins (online) and found it a good experience that only takes a day or so. You will have this canoe for years, and...
