Re: Encapsulation
The ply is Okume. I did a very light sand thinking I was knocking these off but I guess I didn't do it well enough. Let me define splinter. I don't mean big nasty finger poking splinters.

I was going to upload some pics of this but can't at the moment due to the server switch. I have put 3 layers of neat epoxy onto my wood for encapsulation purposes.

FL14 Transom Thickness

Rub Rails
Can a store bought rub rail replace the laminated wooden rubrails described in the plans for any boat?

Paint Colors
Can a custom color be supplied for purchase?
Or can I blend two or more colors together to achieve a desired color?
Or is there color additives available for some brand of paints?
