In Response To: Re: Formica w/Epoxy glue? (Vic Roy)

while reading thru the Buddy Boy section,
In reference to the cabin bulkhead, Cap.t Pat describes:

"The new bulkhead will be two thickness' of 1/2" plywood, laminated both sides with heavy laminate. All processes, including the laminate will be done with epoxy."

I assumed Capt. Pat was talking about a formica style laminate. A good friend of mine who is cabinet maker and taught me a good bit about laminate work, always seems to have reservations about the standard glueing process when exposing to sunlight and heat.

I'm not so worried myself, but I think if Capt. Pat thought epoxy had merit in this situation, I'd give it a shot.

anyway,
maybe I'll just go with what I know.

I want to acomplish a task, and don't have time for a science project.

thanks guys

Mike
