Re: Butt or scarf?

John, I am building Paul Fishers 50/50 sailing canoe (still). My plans offered either butt or scarffed joints, I used the scarff joints. In either case aligning the pieces to be joined must be done carefully and securely! Epoxy is a wonderful product and has proven it's self over and over in boat and kayak construction. When it is wet it is slippery and it is easy for pieces to slip from thier carefully aligned positions. Straying from the designers plans can add alot, I said ALOT of time to your build. I KNOW THIS!
