Ok, I admit it, I was bad. I broke my Greenland paddle. I think it's glue-able (out on the blade), especially if I apply a solid finish after. However, the only advice I've gotten is "use Gorilla glue!" I do not like Gorilla glue as it is messy and leaves residue. What glue do people who make laminated GP's use? Next question, I have seen suggestions about coating the paddle with epoxy and using fiberglass on the tips. I am not sure what I am easily finding on the Internet or at West Marine is the right stuff. Where do (you) get epoxy and what type is used? I have also seen suggestions to coat the tips with epoxy and use another finish, such as spar varnish, over the whole paddle. Is this to reduce added weight by avoiding additional epoxy? And do you need the fiberglass on the tips, also? Thanks for the help! I am not likely to do this project until the weather is warmer and I can be outside.
