: Hi Builders,

: For those who might be intrested. I took a picture of the carbon
: padeye I have used on the Sea Glider I built some time back. I
: like the way they turned out, smooth and snag free when I am
: sliding around on the deck in a re-entry. I also like that there
: is no hole in the deck to seal. they are about 3/8 inch wide and
: 1 1/8 long more or less. They are extreamly light and easy to
: build.

: Clayton Plunkett

The best of luck to you.

I tried epoxying wood deck fittings in place 15 years ago.

When the sun got hot the deck fittings were
launched into space by the shock cord!
