: JEM Watercraft also advocates leaving a gap between the panel edges, then
: filling the gap with epoxy. In fact, that's where I saw it first.

I show it as an OPTION to control the panels better if they are not behaving. I also try to explain the trade-offs using this technique.

No wood-on-wood "hard" contact is important with larger power and sail boats. Less important in paddle craft.
