Since Paddlewise includes boat people from many varieties of boats, I thought I'd show you all a site I stumbled across this evening. The transom in my 34 year old Carver, Ad Hoc, has some dry rot in the core down at the bottom and I've been kinda looking around for some epoxy resin I could just inject through holes into the core to firm it up. I stumbled over this web page: http://www.rotdoctor.com/glass/GLrotrepair.html and thought I'd pass it along. They produce an epoxy that is sprayable!!! You can literally spray it into a small hole where its viscosity is such that it will then flow down into the substrate and invade the dry-rotted wood. When it cures then it's hard. It helps to use compressed air or something to dry out the wood. This outfit also makes some polyurethane varnishes that look promising for kayak builders as well as other boaters. They're located in Seattle. Some of you may have used their products before but I was damned glad to find them.
