In Response To: Paddle: Building greenland paddles (john faas)

: I am thinking of building some greenland paddles from laminated
: lumber. I gather thickened resin is considered the best
: "glue" what is next in line. I only have the resin
: that came with my CLC kit (MAS) and do not know how much I will
: have after finishing the kit so I might have to resort to
: waterproof glues.
: Also any thought on how to get good joints without a planer or
: joiner.

Titebond 3 works just fine, with good joining surfaces. Clamp tightly.
You can get great joint with a (sharp) hand plane, no problem.

I glued up all these paddles with Titebond 3 . . . .
