[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2024666, member: 5437"] We can agree to disagree here I guess. We're not building a boat. Do you plan to submerge the stock, doubling as a paddle? The Titebond III is not designed to be used below the water line. Not for anything other than wood to wood layups with a wafer thin build if that. It is designed to do exactly what we are discussing. And for that application it works exceptionally well. I stand by the recommendation for the lamination ONLY. Epoxy everywhere else. I would never think of bedding with it, fairing with it, or anything with any sort of glue thickness. Wood to wood only. When clamped up almost everything squeezes out. There's nothing left to "shrink". You will get more movement in the wood itself. I like MAS epoxies. West is also very good. I built a cedar strip canoe years ago and you don't glue up the strips with epoxy. Titebond strip to strip. Epoxy everywhere else. Marine ply is also not generally epoxy. I believe it is a phenolic glue layer to layer. Use that if you have an industrial press and ability to do so. [/QUOTE]
