DO NOT use luan or gorilla glue if you value your life in your
homebuilt boat.


Don't know about gorilla glue. I've no complaint with the plastic resin
(urea formaldehyde) or polyurethane (PL Premuim) glues (more properly
adhesives). The painted (no resin coating) Dogskiff I made in 1999 out of
lauan underlayment got its first fibreglass delamination patch, about a
foot long adn 6" wide, this season. The boat is stored indoors in the
garage when not in use. It was used often up until this year when I've not
been able to get out on the water much. For the money and time put into
the boat it has paid for itself well. I'd expect to get another few years
out of it.
