I would be curious how much weight was added with the gel coats. Not my style, but they did a nice job. Bob

Jim- I’ve heard similar complaints about that system. I’ve had good luck with Katadyn BeFree filters. I’ve had one for several years and no issues. Bob

I’m a stuffer when it goes in a sack. I fold my baker and teepee type tents that go in a duffle style bag. Bob

Welcome Mark. I’m not too far north of you in CT. Bob

You can always put a dremel bit in a drill. Might be awkward, but probably less likely to gouge where you don’t want gouging. Bob

I was in shock and awe seeing the mosaic of colors on the proud nail heads on the dock/walkway on the south end of Saint Regis Lake. I guess some folks were too tired to care after the portage or just don’t care in general. Some serious gouges I’m sure. Bob

Shelby Foote’s Civil War series. Beautifully written for nonfiction. Bob

I do both regularly, but if I’m baking something I almost always use charcoal. The heat is predictable. Bob

I trimmed the existing foam on my TW Special and glassed over with no decks like Goonstroke. I can attest to Great Stuff style spray foam absorbing and holding water. I’ve seen it used in some creative auto body repair and you can literally squeeze the water out of it. You can buy marine...

Most likely. The gentleman who outfitted this canoe lives there. Bob

I have one as well. No issues. Bob

Not sure this is helpful, but I know a builder who adds West System 410 to epoxy to make it sandable for fairing and filling canvas weave. I can’t speak to its transparency. Bob

Goonstroke is correct. I had this on the bow of a bass boat and it is a very soft pliable material. Perfect for kids sliding it up on a sand beach, but it wouldn’t hold up to rocks. Taking it off would be a sticky mess too. Bob

Looks great Robin. That’s a good off season project. Bob

Bummer about the split. It’s going g to be a dandy though. I like the wood choices- it will stand out in a crowd! Bob
