In Response To: Scarfing deck on S&G kayak (Jimmy)

Hi,

I scarfed on my Ch. 17, but covered the scarf with a veneer compass rose ... I also covered the butt joints near the coaming with more veneer - a couple of "accent strips" to hide the joints. I had some veneer, but also used some of the "iron-on" 3/4" veneer tape available from the large home centers - this is the stuff they use to cover the edges of shelving, etc. Be a little careful covering the veneer with fiberglass and epoxy, as air tends to get trapped along the edges of the veneer. Good luck,

John
