RE: [Paddlewise] finally: a use for aol

An alternate way to get a good fit is to to cover the deck where you want 
the compass with plastic wrap, paint epoxy resin on the bottom of the mount 
after it has been rough-shaped, and then press it into place on top of the 
plastic wrap. When it has set, remove the mount and the plastic wrap, and 
trim the excess resin.

Joan, I think the cd idea is really fine, but if you ever want to use
wood try lightly spray gluing sandpaper on to the deck where you want
the compass and push the piece of wood back and forth in line between
the bow point and stern- an 80 grit with cedar should make quick work of
it.  YOu can also use this method for contouring a custom fit with foam.
