I am a first time bilder and i am looking forward to bilding a Gullemot strip built kayak.But have a quetion about wood specirs. I have afair amount of west coast cypress(yellow cedar.)I would like to build most of the kayak out of cypress.BUT have concerns about the oil in the wood delaminating the apoxy and fibreglas cloth from the finished hull.(not allowing a good bond) Is this nothing to worry about or has anyone else had trouble with yellow cedar.Also are there species of wood to stay away from in this regard.
