I have a mid 80s Lincoln Explorer finished in Ash I got from the original owner two years ago. He had used a oil finish for the wood and I'm almost out of what he had gave me. It was a white can with green weighting and two old guys in a boat on the front of the can. Anyone know what it's...

So after I used it I found out that the Gorilla Glue brand of epoxy is not water proof. I had wrongly assumed that all epoxy was. And when applying spar varnish you shooed hang the paddle so the excess runs off. Having the paddle flat makes the varnish to thick and it dues strange thing to the...

So I was going to glass the blade. But here in the pacific northwest you can't fine under 6oz glass. So I'm fill the crack with epoxy sand it smooth and re-varnish. I'll let you all know how it goes.

I was going though we canoe stuff this weekend, its spring like in OR. And one of my paddles has a cracked blade. So I think I'm going to fiberglass the blade, but it has a cote of varnish on it. Do I need to sand off the varnish?

I'll have to throw a couple milk jugs in the trunk of the car.

Its just me so I think I'll sit in the front seat facing backward. As for my paddle stoke I'll have to work at that.

I’m taking my Lincoln Explorer out for the first time next weekend with the local trout unlimited guys. Anything I should do or not do different than I’d do with my old plastic Colman? I’ve had the Lincoln for almost six months but have not had it in the water yet. We’re just going up to a 15...

I think I'll have to try this

What I'm taking away from this is get a good yoke and keep the pack weight as low as I can. PS I'm packing a Kevlar Lincoln Explorer at 50lbs

Packs So here in the Pacific Northwest we have two types of lakes ones you can drive up to and ones you hack into. Most of the lacks I’m planning trips to are all ones I’ve hiked into before or in the same area (2.5-3mil). So do I look for a good portage pack or just go with one of the many...

I'll get some of the finished spots I took some but cant find them.

I cant make them smaller.

Kicked across this website researching a lake I’d like to go fish. I thought it would be a good tool in the shed for anyone looking at lake in Oregon. http://www.aol.research.pdx.edu/ So you can also buy this in book form, I now have a copy. You can find it at. Powell's Books Amazon

So I just got finished with my gel-coat crack repairs, I’llpost photos when I figure that out. But it was easer then I thought it wouldby. Fallowed the instruction that Lincoln sent me, and if you can worksandpaper you can do this. I will admit that if you can get the same gel-coatthat your...

So I’ve got all my cracks dug out and sanded, just waitingon the shop to worm up to gel-coat.

Welcome as well

So in my interdiction I had said I was going to start agel-coat repair project on my Lincoln Explorer canoe. I called Lincoln and theygave me the part/color number for the gel-coat and told me that I could get itat any marine store. OK maybe in Maine you have a marine parts shop on everyblock...

You have just described my last week.

I just thought I'd say hi to the forum and give a little back round. I got my first canoe this year a Pelican Explorer 14.6 to fly fish out of with my daughter in some of the small lakes in the Cascades. For fish it worked well but was to heavy, so back to shopping. I found a gently used 20 year...
