: If you used waterproof glue to build it, consider not even using a coat of
: glass. Save weight.

I'm afraid it's going to leak! Water splashing around inside will be embarassing.

: I epoxy my paddles together, and have found I don't even like any finish on
: them.

I'm going to start a full size model and I will surely go with an oil (or no) finish on that one. This one is too floppy to leave unglassed. I may try a matte or steel wool'd varnish in order to improve the feel.
