I'll be building a 32' cedar strip canoe in october....but am wondering if any of the builders here have made a cedar strip canoe and have had problems with bubbling in the fiberglass over time. So my question is...."can you fiberglass just one side to help mitigate the expansion of the wood without compromising the structural integrity and connection between the wood and fiberglass/epoxy?"
I've done a "tape and seam" method and there seems to be no issues...but marine grade plywood seems a lot more stable than red and white cedar.
Any help would greatly be appreciative.
