Interesting. Any other sources? I presume it wouldn't do for sealing binocular joints as the stuff would eventually spread over all surfaces in a fine layer, although maybe that wouldn't matter. One could use something that hardens for this application, though; ideas, anyone? e (who is always looking for ways to do things cheap) Oh, this news may help someone: I had bought a Werner graphite paddle in 210 cm. length, thinking that's what I'd need for the Brit boats. Now, after reading Ralph's wonderful (!) book on foldables, I'm starting to think K1 or something. But what of the short paddle? Well, I just spoke with the company. Turns out they make extensions of 20 or 30 cm.; you just send the paddle and they fit it for you, $45 for the 20 cm. one, plus shipping. Nice to know if you paddle different boats! e Elaine Harmon - eilidh_at_dc.seflin.org - eharmon_at_cs.miami.edu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Aug 10 1999 - 10:26:12 PDT
