jhl.verona Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I wanted to post photos of my project done two years ago. It is a kayak for sea fate made of wood and coated with epoxy resin. The project the fate of was designed on the computer, transferred onto sheets of MDF and then glued strips of walnut and mahogany. Just for the others... fate (fare) means make in Italian. Even when I finish, I promised I will never touch water. Did you use the wrong glue? I can imagine you avoiding the traffic by going along the Navigli!

I can imagine you avoiding the traffic by going along the Navigli! John John Not question the glue. You can not sail on the Navigli. I promised not to wet the principle. During construction I make many "enemies", so many people jealous, no one believed it to my project. For what it called the black swan. Nobody wanted him. P.S. thanks for correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikepdarr Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 So what happens to the braces inside the hull? Do you leave them in? Take them out? Do they just wiggle out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoki4691 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 So what happens to the braces inside the hull? Do you leave them in? Take them out? Do they just wiggle out? Mike. All the templates are removed. The hull is opened along the edge. Then he does the same thing as out. Sanding and three coats of resin apoxy. At that point, wood does not move more. The epoxy resin such as glass, hull and the sun shines like spaceship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thnx Mds2 I built another kayak, a two-seater for the sea. Only this and even more long and 21 feet while carrying two people with a weight of 196 pounds. It is very long and I have problems to take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
