No, no at traditional canoe is covered with seal skin.

Tim w

what kind of canvas I need ?

can you show me pics of canvas or seal skin?

and

Nope, to get seal skin, first you need to catch a seal; to get canvas
the same except you catch a candidate.

what is the order of the process ?

for example first I put the fiberglass on the wooden board

then the canvas

finally by the filler mixing with epoxy

is it right

I wait your responses

If you have built the canoe out of boards then you don't need
fiberglass, filler, canvas or seal skin. Just nails and oakum.

Cheers,

Bruce

yes I have built it with a board

do you mean the boat will float without what the guys mentioned it

and if I want to put a fiberglass and filler just to make it mush strong and give it the shape

is won't if affect in the float ?

I wait you
