Repairs on wooden canoe

[Ozark Hydro Bond]

How many of you use epoxy to repair your canoe? I developed a new epoxy blend that can cure in wet conditions and is UV protected. I would like to know what everyone uses and if they wou,d consider epoxy.

I believe epoxy is widely used in canoe repair. Many of the boats here are traditional wood canvas construction. A common problem is rot in the rib ends and stems. New pieces can be scarfed on using epoxy. More modern construction includes strip planked with fiberglass and glued lapstrake plywood. Both methods use epoxy in their construction and repair.
