Just exactly what was the serious question here? Were you serious about glassing and paddling the canoe with the toothpicks still sticking out? Just wondering. Jimmy

I have attached nylon webbing directly to epoxy with silicone rubber adhesive. It seems to be holding pretty well.

The asking price in the old ad for the one that illinoisgiller bought was $3000. The link wouldn't open for me last night but now it did. My father said that his uncle who lived near Reelfoot lake had one of the boats, but he doesn't know what happened to it after the uncle died.

Welcome, xray. There are some photos of one that is probably like yours here. http://good-times.webshots.com/album/565578752paBrcI This one belongs to a member here, Illinoisgiller. He hasn't posted here since 2008, but his profile shows that he last visited in January of this year. I'm...

Congaree National Park preserves the largest expanse of old-growth flood plain forest in America. It is often called Congaree Swamp but it really is a flood plain and not a swamp. A large portion of the park is flooded several times a year. I visited Congaree at the end of October last year. At...

I went last fall. It is an interesting place and Cedar Creek is a nice paddle. I saw the largest pine tree that I have ever seen. I do plan to go back someday.

There is quite a bit in this thread. http://www.neilbank.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5763 More here. http://www.clcboats.com/shoptips/epoxy_and_fiberglass/ Jimmy

Bellybuster, will that boat also have sails and a centerboard? It looks like a cat boat. Jimmy

Thanks Beekeeper. This dugout with the hurricane damage being repaired is some really amazing work.

Jack, You should think that it is a good point as it is a direct quote of part of your post from page 1 of this thread. Basomarpo1610 made 3 posts and 2 of them were quotes from you and the other was a quote from Joey. I think that he is really more interested in selling AC parts. Jimmy

Good going, Jammy. Jimmy

I also live in the northern part of Atlanta metro area. I have canoed the Toccoa, the upper Etowah, upper "hooch", Amicalola Creek, Chestatee, Chattoga, etc. Chuck is right a plastic boat would be much more forgiving. Yes, a TV or Trapper could make it if you didn't make any mistakes, but...

You are correct Captain.

I use the same epoxy for everything. Opening it and using some to assemble the boat will not hurt the rest.

You really don't need to tape the seams if you are going to glass the entire boat. It wouldn't hurt though if you want to double cover the seams. If I was going to use both, I would tape first and feather the edges before glassing over it. That would likely give a smoother finish.

Sorry for your lost Bob. Jimmy

Clamp them together and shape both at once.

I am pretty sure that you need to line them up by the waterline, but hopefully someone with more experience in building this type of boats will come along. Jimmy

My first post that I made on this forum was asking about doing the same thing. It could be done on a simple boat like a pirogue, but you would still need to tape the seams on both sides. By the way, I didn't end up doing it that way. I ended up first building Matt's Touring Pirogue-T instead. My...

Home Depot sells molding that comes in long clear lengths. At least they did when I built my pirogue.
