This reminds me that not long ago someone asked about vacuum-bagging vs.
hand lay-ups, and that I'd replied (privately?) that there had been an
excellent discussion on that topic in an issue of Sea Kayaker magazine a few
years ago, between a proponent of each method, the proponent of hand lay-ups
having been Lee Moyer.  Can that exchange be reproduced here for the benefit
of Paddlewise subscribers?
