Default Cold-Molded Hulls?

What does "Cold-Molded" mean?


It refers to boats made of layers of wood bonded with glues (generally
epoxies) which do not require the application of external heat.
Differentiated from the old plywood construction method (for example, WWII
PT boats) which used glues that set only when pressed and heated.

Cold molding can be done with strips of solid wood, such as cedar, or with
plywood. More often than not, it is finished with an outer layer of
fiberglass cloth and resin.
