Just wondering,,,I have built three Pygmy's and have never used any thickener or filler other then wood flour. Why would you need any of these as the boat is so well designed and light weight?? The only place I can think of would be in the bow and stern fills, but these are not only for handle and rudder attachments, but also to help hold the bow and stern together at a stress point, and I do seem to stress the bow by banging it into rocks etc. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
I was considering replacing the "wood flour" which they supply for thickening the epoxy in the seams with something a little more resilient. mark On Tue, 16 Jun 1998 JorgieJ_at_aol.com wrote: > Just wondering,,,I have built three Pygmy's and have never used any thickener > or filler other then wood flour.
