"Thanks for the link, Robb!"

"Nah, I wouldn't lose sleep over it.You still have the weave of the glass covered with epoxy matrix.  You just don't have the individual fibers completely filled.  It's probably still 90% as strong as fully wet out. The…"

"That would definitely work.Want some more bad news?  When I pre-glassed the inside of my side panels, and then bent them into the boat, the glass on the inside of the bend "popped" in some places along the weave.  I don't…"

"Dusty, if this helps your decision making, I left my spots. I know that eventually I will damage the boat and have to make repairs. Repairs will be more noticeable than the damage spots. However, if I were selling the boat, they would not have…"

"Hi Dusty, You may have to replace the fiberglass. I built my dory in a cold shop last winter and had to pre-warm my epoxy so it would wet out the glass. I warmed one batch too much and dumped it on my boat just as it was cooking off. I never got…"

"What was your rationale for both square and round dog holes?Gorgeous.  You should be proud of your work."

"That's hilarious.Saw similar one time quietly kayaking the Bitterroot river."

"David, that's beautiful.  So is your bench.  Did you build it yourself?I have a bunch of ash I'm hoarding, but may not use it for a bench and hold out for its "best use" (clear wood will be gunnels).  Was thinking…"

"Rick, we've had 6 Labs over 23 years.  They're cool dogs.  Not perfect at anything, but really friendly family dogs.My wife used to train Lab puppies as their first phase of being service dogs.  I'd be interested to…"

"That was the input I needed, thanks. A couple bolts into the bulkhead would brace it all. I don't claim to be a fly fisherman, but just built a wooden boat and seemed like time to buy a fly rod."

"Got out once.  MF Flathead in rubber with my dawgs.  Water is coming up a bit and should be able to get the dory out soon.Never loved the small diameter (about 1 3/16") of my oar handles, so I'm wrapping them with 1/16" ash…"

"That's cool Kirk.I have been thinking of removeable thigh brace options for my whitewater dory. Would be great to have it serve a "2nd life" as a fishing craft, albeit a heavy one.  I wonder how well that would work if mounted to…"

"Casters Got a Harbor Freight dolly on sale for $7.99 (cheapest way to buy casters) and put the casters on 2x6's.  I have seen some people build a big 4'x4' box dolly, but the two separate 2x6's are easier to store when no…"

"Hi Brian, for my launch, I simply drilled the gunnel spacers.   DEFINITELY not enough angle, and my oars were binding in my NRS oarlocks.  I think I need a 15° angle (steeper/more vertical) from the angle iron plate.  what…"

"She's lovely Brian.  congratulations on launching her!Where did you get the oarlock stanchions? Your oars look like they already have some history!"
