: I am just finishing up my expedition single and my question is are there any
: links to making grab loops? Or any good ideas on them. Also I remember
: seeing I think, one ocean kayaks with what looks like PVC in the holes
: where the grab loops go. If it is PVC does anyone think it is better or
: worse than just a hole in the hull. It kind of looks neat....kirk

The PVC works fine, the epoxy likes it and it eliminates having to do an end pour unless that is needed structurally. A hole works fine if sealed with epoxy and there is something inside that seals the end so it doesn't leak.
