Has any honourable kayakeur in this club tried to cover a stich'n'glue's deck panel(s) with thin decorative stripping instead of going into the tiresome jig of constructing the deck from real-thikness strips?
Will those thin strips keep sticking to the ply deck panels?
This looks like cabinet-making...meaning a long, specific process, and many clamps?

Another topic: I work wearing a respiratory mask (dreadful stuff with two filters, I'll post you a pic for Halloween) and glasses, that seem to be doing the job.
So, I don't use the vac, in spite of instructions : is this a big mistake?
I mean, considering I'm no real specialist like Nick or Russ, only a part-time builder?
I just found the connecting pipe a hindrance, the noise is such you think the cops are gonna crash in, etc.

Many splashes
