You got it and looks great!

Thank ya, sir.

Hey Jim. When you say, "lightly sand the last form", are you simply fairing it slightly to let the strips lay better on the lowered stem form?

The Green River lakes are a favorite of mine, especially off season just after the campground closes services. I'll be up there in a few weeks just kickin' back and doing some fishing and walkabouts. I like this location for a casual car camping time, just use the vehicle as a bear box. I just...

Yeah, I tried that once, too.... once ;) And it was a small kayak thus figured it wouldn't be all that difficult to drape the cloth. I always seem to learn the hard way! I usually revisit between 12 and 24 hours.

Fabulous! Thank you for posting it.

The carbide scraper as mentioned is certainly the way to go. For the irregularities the OP has experienced I'd use a 2-2.5" tool with a forward knob. These afford excellent control and you'll find it rather easy to fair the surface. In my building experience I've found the carbide scrapers so...

Got my second shirt today. Sure get a lot of compliments on them. Thanks, Doug!

Ha! That's what I use, too. People think I'm the horse whisperer but I simply have a pouch of hard candies and they know it. As an aside, one has not lived until one has been pulled along a mellow snowy trail in his/her canoe by horse. Good wintertime fun. All the best to ya, Robin...

Hey Doug, I got a notice from Paypal that the funds I sent for my shirt have been returned to my account. The note said the funds had not been retrieved thus the return. Checked my account and sure enough, there's $24 sittin' there. I'd like to take one of those size large shirts you have. How...

Very interesting and useful information. I can see a number of applications where this will be of use to me. Thank you.

I like grey colored plates on green canoes.

I'm one of those in-between size fellers. I can wear a large T or a medium. I like the medium for tucked in wear and the large for casual slacker attire. Once I try on the medium that is en route I'll probably take one of those large Ts off your hands.

I have one of their Gunflint straights - nice paddle. And it was nice not having to strip the grip ;)

PP sent and email with shipping info. Thanks, Doug.

That's a good combo and used by a lot of home brew wood paddle makers. Easy to work with and quite durable. I use it on my river paddles that see a bit more abuse. After the initial saturation coat on new wood, apply the following coats using 400 or 600 grit wet sandpaper for a very nice satin...

My favorite paddles are the Grey Owl Fleetwood. I refinish the grip and shaft down to about three inches above the throat. A lobor of love and I enjoy the feel of the oiled wood. My river paddles get only the grip refinished as they see more abuse o the shaft. I do buff the factory finish with...

Its quite easy when working with transparent epoxy like when adding the football & stem patches during a build. When the resin is green just lift the tape with fingertips to about 90 degrees to the surface and then trim with a blade run at a 45 degree to the surface. Leaves a very nice beveled...

I've been lucky with my Syn7 but I've sure heard a lot of tales echoing your experience, Yellowcanoe. I feel bad as I was one of the ones suggesting that air pad when you were gathering opinions at an earlier time. I've since gone back to my Neo Trekker. I don't seem to joint-dive the...

I would certainly be in for a couple o' tees and a hat.
