Hello Folks
After a year and about 200 hours I have completed the woodworking on my Ranger build, my first canoe. Now I am waiting for some mild weather so I can bring it upstairs to the garage and sand the hull to get it ready for varnish. I was wondering if I should epoxy the seat spacers to the inwales or leave them loose for some reason? Appreciate your input.
Here's a picture of the boat so far. If anyone is interested in seeing more photos, I've been journalling the build on Instagram @canoebuild2017
Thanks
Eric

I think I would use that spacer as a spacer .... run the bolt through the gunnel, spacer and afix under the seat ... Unless you are doing hidden hardware, then run the bolt from under the seat, through the spacer and into the gunnel hardware ... either way i think using the spacer as a spacer leaves it more flexible to changes or maintenance.

I wouldn't epoxy the spacers ! As you said you may need to remove them someday ! Maybe for seat adjustment, or repair .

Keep your paddle wet and your seat dry!
