dryfly.ca started as a website for sharing one of my DIY projects, a stitch and glue kayak. Since then I've added several more projects including a skin-on-frame kayak, cedar strip canoe, kayak paddles, canoe paddles, building a spey rod, and an antenna for receiving OTA HDTV. I also occasionally ramble on about politics, technology, bike racing, product reviews and last but not least, our kids.

Gluing the seams isn’t as straightforward as you would think. From what I’ve learned (and I could be doing it incorrectly), gluing the seams involves:
applying several coats/applications
a fair bit of scraping and sanding
getting a perfect mix of epoxy + wood flour can go a long ways
going extremely slow may pay off big time in epoxy cleanup (isn’t this always true?)
