This is an interesting project, there are a number of cracks and splits in the hull of this canoe. The boat was taken off its forms before fiber glassing and put in storage for quite awhile. The cedar has dried out a bit and some of the seams have split. Sooooo how do you fix something like this?
The problem is how to squeeze the parts together to get the glue to stick and dry... here is the clever part. Superglue! By gluing down a couple of scrap pieces on either side of the split.
Once the glue is dry, I should be able to plane off the scraps and sand any blemishes out. So far so good, I'll keep you posted.
