Watertight

I didn't sink!!


Took the boat on its first trip today. Successfully paddled around Derwent water. It's lovely to paddle.


Great day, photos say it all!

Hello. I have just come across your blog. I am about to start making a canoe myself and love the finish you got.

Did you use tape on the outside? If so how did you get such a great finish.

Thanks
Dom

Hi,

Used glass tape inside and out which it quite difficult. It is hard to get a smooth finish but if you are patient and make sure glass tape has enough epoxy to wet out then it is almost invisible.

If you have a look at some of the other pics you may see the finish is far from perfect, but I am happy with it!
