Another question from the newbie

Regarding accessing Amazon, I would try two things:

1. Make sure you type http://www.amazon.com. It should work the way you’ve been doing it, but typing the entire address might just do something.
2. If you’re a Windows user, download and use Firefox exclusively for your web browsing. If you use Firefox, you can start an Amazon.com search right from the search box in the top right of the browser.

I have the same wishes, of building a pond boat. My power boat is just too big to launch in any shallow ponds. I’ve been checking out some websites and books covering this subject. All seem to point to epoxy as the preferred glueing and finishing method. Check out this website for more:

There’s a “tips” tab that will interest you.

I built a CLC wooden canoe. I spread epoxy all over it with a foam brush like paint. It lets the wood show through like a varnish would. I added wood flour (sawdust) to it and made a thick paste to fill any large gaps, or added silicon powder to it to fill small gaps. I painted over the epoxy on the outside, and left the inside show the wood. The floor has a sheet of fiberglass cloth for strength, and once epoxied, you can not see the fiberglass, but it just looks like wood.

Good luck with the shoulder,
