Epoxy is not supplied with this kit.This canoe is ideal for a solo paddle but will also take 3 adults and some gear for day trip or weekend camp etc or perhaps a day on the water for the kids. This kit is built using the "Stitch & Tape" method of construction. All you need to do is join the planks and bottom panel using a simple method we use in most our designs, drill small holes in each hull completed hull panel as per instructions and assemble by "stitching" it all together with the plastic cable ties.

Once all the stitches are tight, the hull is aligned and checked before the epoxy is applied to the inside seams (plank joints). Then the hull is turned over and the outer seams are taped and saturated with epoxy. Once that job is completed the hull is turned back upright, the bulkheads are glued with epoxy fillets into place and the trim is fitted along with the fore and aft decks. The inside is then prepared and painted/varnished and the hatches are fitted in their holes. Now the outside of the hull can be prepared and painted or varnished.

Once all the painting is done, make or buy a paddle and you're ready for launching. The build takes around 5 - 7 days to complete but has been done in 4 days using fast epoxy. Once complete, you have a brand new canoe for less than the cost of even a cheap, mass produced plastic one and you will have built it!
