As I said, about a dozen souls proclaimed on this site they were going to do an epoxy/fabric hull and only one ever came back with evidence of same.
I recommend that anyone contemplating such a build read "Building your Kevlar Canoe" by James Moran. ISBN0-07-043036-5. The details were so demanding I read the book twice because it seemed to be so difficult I couldn't imagine anyone trying it on their own.
Of course I don't know everything.
How about a little about your build?
How experienced are you?
Did you use a male or female mold?
What type of construction was the mold?
How long did it take to complete?
How long did it take to do the lay-ups?

: Charlie,

: While I appreciate your words of caution, there is no particular need for a
: team of people to undertake a project like this. A bit of thought and
: planning is required, but an individual can do this sort of thing. I did,
: and so I think most anyone can too.
