Slow progress on the Tolman
I am finally making progress again on the Tolman skiff. For two weeks,
it came to a halt as temps here in N. FL stayed below 55 degrees in the day and epoxy wouldnt flow, adhere or cure. Finally were getting normal temps to mid 70s in the day so I have started up again. Got the bottom done and will begin puttin here together. |

Keep us posted...Tolman skiff is a fine boat...but definately a "builders"
boat! I come through N.E. Florida quite often. Good luck, Dave wrote in message oups.com... I am finally making progress again on the Tolman skiff.

Slow progress on the Tolman
I am at the point of putting on the sides but ran into a small problem.
When trying to bend the scarfed together 12' length of ply along the bow, it actually broke. The scarf didnt break but the marine ply broke in a very clean break next to the scarf. Tomorrow, I'll scarf in another section of ply where the break is and glass both sides before trying again. It s'posed to rain, otherwise I'd go sailin and think about it. |

What brand/specification would that "marine plywood" be?
