Well did something stupid and broke my yak. Well not too bad. I have crushed about 6 inches of my bow on the lower edge. It was just deep enough to go through the wood but not the inner layer of glass. I am planning to plane down through the damage and build back up using walnut. Here is my dilemma. I have RAKA no blush epoxy this takes about 12 hrs to set well. I want to build up almost 2 inches of walnut. At 1/8 inch thick this will take at least 8 days if I use the RAKA epoxy. If I use 5 min. epoxy the laminating will take less than one day. Then there is option 3 witch is buying epoxy just for the laminating.

Now having said that why would I not want to use the 5 min. epoxy?

Sage.

P.S. My mother-in-law will be staying with me for 3 weeks. I would like to get as much paddling time as possible during this time.
