[QUOTE="bonz_d, post: 400721, member: 11276"] epoxy resin is about the best way but it is also the most costly. In order for epoxy to really be used to it's full potential the plywood should be fitted 1st and all holes predrilled. This method is what all the glasser guys use. I don't use it because there is no retailer close by that I can get it and it also has to be shipped as a haz-mat material which also greatly adds to the cost. Were the 3 parts in the formula can be purchased at any hardware store. If epoxy is the way you decide to go that is the best way to go but again is also the most costly. I also understand your thought about keeping wood out of the boat as best you can. When I build internal structures or supports I use aluminum angle. It's lighter and stronger than wood and does not rot. Any new progress? [/QUOTE]
