: I'm making a Macks-type baidarka and wondered what sort of glue you
: guys use to laminate the lower bow?
I built one of the first Shooting Star's about six years ago. my first attempt at building a stripper or wooden boat of any kind and glued it all together with plain old Elmers glue. It has held up fine and shown no problems-this kayak is used frequently each Summer in ocean waters. all wood surfaces are covered with cloth and epoxy so the glue never gets exposure to any moisture. use a good wood glue and enjoy.
