I take it that you're not going to fiberglass the seams? You can't do
that over PL Premium. You're not going to get anywhere near the strength
of glass/epoxy construction.


The PL Premium is worked into the fibre. Photos at www.sinmplicityboats.com.
I tried PL Premium and fabric butt blocks but they were week. The cured
patches broke before the wood spilt. Seam fillets would be thicker and
stronger. David Beede's tests look convincing.
