Do you use this?

Ramon, I don't understand what this is for?

I make my own penetrating epoxy. Just mix 4 parts prepared epoxy to 6 parts Xylene. Teaspoon quantity will be more than enough.

Wood looks beautiful. Laying on the surface of those chairs makes for a nice composition.

I'd just touch up the sanded through spots with penetrating epoxy.

LOL so this would be you huh

I think stretching the band without wrapping it around the spear should tell enough. All polespears will bend reasonably that way. Anything more and you're going to be testing at what point it breaks.

Very convenient. I wish I could hold it assembled to feel how strong it is.

I can see a new CA trend, fill your kayak with foam.

Thanks Judah and everyone else who thinks they're purdy.

Scary, can a hole like that can sink a kayak? Imagine knowing you're sinking within 15 minutes of that hit.

Open track with magnets.

Welcome to the forum Marcus.

Thanks Phil. Heads up I tried using Texalium a few years ago but it would delaminate, so no good for fins. Too bad because the colors are beautiful. But it doesn't add any performance anyways.

Sorry for the derail Fungineer.

Can you please post a link to it. If the other properties are correct it would make for neat carbon fin color.

Very nice. Why is the color so light?

Nice pics Adrian. You gotta have more?

The water around the fort looks beautiful. Is this the protected area you mentioned?

BTW I think those allergies of yours were some kind of flu because a few days later we all got a big dose of it over here

Based on the old Picasso foot pockets the redesigned Power foot pockets are one of two new models from Picasso, Power and Speed. I found the Power foot pockets to have good moderate stiffenss tendons that give the blade adequate support without adversely affecting its flex pattern. By contrast the tendons of the Speed footpockets are very soft and IMO do not offer enough support for a carbon blade. The sole of the Power foot pockets is stiff allowing for good power transfer from the leg to the blade. The upper part of the foot pocket is soft and comfortable and can be used by divers with a high instep. A strip of more rigid material running across the the top of the foot pocket in the toe area anchors the fins to the foot.

The tendons of the Picasso foot pockets have T shaped slots that readily accept the small blade rails and are easy to install blades into. Two tendon end clips are included with each foot pocket.

There are two methods of securing the blade that can be used with the Picasso footpockets:

• The old way with one sex bolt through the hole in the center of the foot pocket toe plate, which requires drilling a hole through the blade near the toe angle.
• The new way utilizing a hole incorporated into the sole of the foot pocket, and a plastic knob that is attached to the back edge of the blade and is captured by the hole.

Nice report and abs Daniel.

Guys, I'm sorry I simply don't have time to keep track of the records in this thread. If someone else wants to update the list please do so.

Yes, unless I ~`~`~`~` up and cut too deep, then have to change the whole plan LOL. Main thing is to go slow and keep checking as you go.
