Glues, etc.
I have found some pirogue plans that look like something to tackle for
a first project. Simple cuts and nice lines on the finished boat. Now some questions glues, etc. Can you use construction adhesives? If so what brands? What other glues do you recommend?I am thinking of glassing the outside seams and useing some sort of filet on the inside seam, with or without glass covering the inner seam. If I can use adhesive I can save on epoxy by not fileting with thickened epoxy. I would run a bead of adhesive along the inside seam for seal and additional bonding same as one would do with epoxy paste. I will need glue anyway during construction and "one glue fits all" would be convenient. Is construction adhesive compatible with resin and glass if I choose to glass the inner seam over the bead (filet) of adhesive? Can you paint over the adhesive if I do not cover wigh glass?? I am not necessarily looking for long term durability, but would like a boat with a reasonable lifespan. I am thinking of this as a "practice" project. Kirk P |
