Heh, heh, heh,,,that must have gotten Kurt's attention.

I just got done reading about Kurt's Mill Creek 13 building experience. I had read his "We don't need no steenking plans" diary awhile ago, but somehow missed the mill creek diary. Very funny stuff, and at the same time, informative. Thanks, Kurt.

Kurt, in your mill creek diary you mention using CA glue to seal some stuff. Are you talking about cyanoacrylate (Super)glue? If so, why did you use that rather than epoxy? Just because it's more convenient?

I used super glue to fill in some extremely fine hairline cracks I had in my gelcoat on the bottom of my kevlar/carbon kayak, and it seemed to work fine.

If it is super glue you were talking about, where did you find such a big bottle? I've only seen it in the really small tubes.

TIA
