> what types of glue are good to use for laminated hardwood paddles? is
> epoxy resin my only choice? any input will be appreciated I've used plastic resin glue to build a greenland paddle an asymetrical paddle and a cedar strip canoe. Both paddles are still holding together after more than 1-yr as is the canoe after 4-yrs. Plastic resin glue comes as a powder which you add warm water to. It has about 1/2 hr pot life at room temperature and will cure overnight.
