Is this the "O and P Pod" boat design (at duckworks plan pages) ?

[redbarnboats]

@sandrailmag Yes it is.

ola caro amigo,gostaria de saber com qual madeira voce usa para as bordas do seu barco,obrigado e aguardo

[redbarnboats]

@marcelopria Eu usei meranti, mas qualquer bom fim grãos e madeira grained longa iria trabalhar. Eu imagino que você tem muitas opções no Brasil. Como brasileiro tinto ou branco meranti.

Do you have a video where you install the stitches ? I am very interested in "Stitch and Glue" building, I'd like to see your detailed approach to it.

I recommend using regular epoxy (thickened) dispensed through a ziplock bag with 2mm of the corner cut out. Use it like a pastry bag.

There are cordless drill dispenser setups you can buy for these binary resin products to dispense them faster and easier. Probably expensive though

I have been using Gel-Magic to build my boat but havn't used the tube yet. Interesting.

System Three Resins recommends wearing gloves whenever handling epoxy products.
