Tom,

If you are willing, please tell me few things.
Whats the size of your fiberglass free kayak?
What thickness did you use in each layer?
What was the weight?

Did you actually save anything in time if you had to epoxy on the last layer of strips?

What did you like best about this method?

Marc

: Bjorn Thomasson dry strips than coats with epoxy before sanding the
: hull.

: I've done a variation of this on my double layer strip / no
: fiberglass design. I dry stripped, coated with epoxy to fill
: most of the gaps, removed the staples,
: and rough sanded to fair it down a bit before applying the second
: layer of strips.

: For strip layer 2, I coated strip layer 1 with slightly thickened
: epoxy , and stapled on strip layer 2. After the epoxy cured I
: removed the staples,
: sanded / faired the bare wood hull and coated with epoxy with an
: emphasis on filling any gaps followed by sanding, additional
: epoxy coating, final sanding, and varnishing.

: No fiberglass was harmed in the construction of this kayak :)
