Don't Glue Your Deck Until You Watch This! Epoxy Fillets & Kayak Build Tips

What's the secret to clean seams, rock solid fittings, and a perfectly aligned kayak deck? In this episode I'll show you exactly how it's done. I start by creating smooth, professional quality epoxy fillets that reinforce joints while giving your build that crisp finished look every builder aims for. Next I move on to installing foot brace anchor bolts using small pre-preg carbon fiber patches for a clean and incredibly strong result. And finally I tackle attaching the deck to the hull using strapping tape and CA glue — a fast, reliable method to hold everything perfectly in place before final bonding. Whether you're building along or just love the craft, this episode of The Art of Boat Building is packed with practical techniques you can put to use right away.
