Hi Kurt,
I have been using your own should-be-patented epoxying/sanding system for years to keep the weight to a minimum. As for the Moby Latch system... I keep promising myself to create a web page but never do. Here is a pretty self explanatory group of pictures that walk you through it. And the system really does work great.
After taking a direct hit from Charlie a few years ago (lost my roof) and this year from Fay I know exactly how it feels to look around at the aftermath of a big wind. It's not pleasant to say the least but for me it was nothing that a few dozen hours with a chainsaw couldn't make more normal. This was the first week in two months that the water had receded enough in the local river for my favorite mountain bike trail to be exposed again. Things do return to normal for the most part but make the best of what you have. I've been using the high water to explore areas that are normally seen on foot.
KT
