Until you put a fastener into it. If I wanted simple i would learn to ride behind a Zodiak I try to leave everything better than I found it. |

Rodger, If you investigate by reading other threads, you'll find that the preferred method of joining all the wood is with thickened epoxy. No fasteners. This isn't a deck you're building!! 
You also may find this book interesting reading gougeon brothers on boat construction If a fastener must be used, then the hole is CPES'd, epoxied and then a final 5200 seal. The Gougeon boys even take it a step farther by boring a oversize hole, filling it with epoxy/high strength filler and drilling and tapping it for a machine screw or bolt. |

Good, On a thought though, Our local college majors in engineering, and they race a concrete canoe. Yeah that's right a concrete canoe. Now about 8 years ago when we were doing work at the university a professor asked if we'd cut up some of the old one's with our gas saw. These canoes were fairly light for being concrete. They were roughly about 3/8 thick over all and layed up with multiple layers of glass. So by the time our boats get rebuilt by the next owners, they might be on the forums looking at how to concrete some stringers in. link |

Concrete is used for yacht hulls too. The latex as well as other add mixes sure make it a versatile material. Keep in mind that the fiberglass is the major structural component. You can use just about any adhesive to hold the glass together as long as the bond is strong enough to keep the glass together. |
