In Response To: Glass Kayak (Johnnie)

: I was planing to build a Kayak from Lexan I've done some glue test and

: clear. What do ya think? Any comments or advice will be appreciated.
: Thanks.

I would like to thank everyone that replied to my post especialy those of you that did not call me stupid.
I gathered all the materials I think I will need, along with some of your post.

As I make progress I will try to figure out my dig. camera and post progress pictures. Once again THANKS!!!
