waxing forms

[Charlie]

In Canoecraft forms are waxed or taped before stripping, in Kayakcraft not.Do I have that right?

Hi Charlie, in Kayakcraft on page 72 "Wax the molds" or cover with clear plastic packaging tape. Also, after shaping inner stems, check to see if you have to touch-up the wax or tape on the stem molds. You will have to cover the sheer clamps with tape so that they don't become part of the hull during the hull stripping.

Of course, if you want to have bulkheads every 12" or so throughout your boat, don't bother waxing at all!
