Johncanoe construction

Johncanoe construction

This is a link to another builder who experienced frustration... Here is a progress report:

Sissors are a poor substitute for an X-acto knife when cutting the outlines fo the shape. X-acto knife works great!

Coating one side of the cardboard before cuttting into individual pieces works great! Much better than coating after cutting.

If the side you coat is what ends up on the inside of the boat, the glue drying warps the cardboard in a way that makes the boat better! Picture will be forthcoming.

Used hot melt on one side and urethane calk on the other... tradeoffs both ways. (-:
