Building a Redfish King

Building a Redfish King

The hull bowed inward once off of the forms,
so I hot-glued accurately cut spacers every
foot to maintain the correct hull shape. The
spacers were carefully placed 2" below the
joint to allow for the 3" wide fiberglass tape.

I epoxied the bow and stern hull & deck
together since I would not be able to use
fiberglass tape in this area. Again, creative
clamping was required.

Fiber tape was used to hold deck and hull together and the entire boat was placed on
it's side while I laid down the 3" fiberglass tape the entire length of the seam. I believe
this is the worst of all job in kayak building. Once one side is complete, I flipped her over
and did the other, leaving the tape on for several days to insure a proper epoxy cure.

The
outside
seams
were also
sealed
with 3"
fiberglass
tape.
However I
masked
off the
area
above and
below the
seam with
painter's
tape.

After getting
a few coats
of epoxy, the
kayak looks
almost
finished!
