I then glued the top half to the bottom half and this is where I ran into some problems. The veneer is pretty thin to start. .028" at the most. After veneering to the 1/4" plywood, some glue oozed up through the pores of the veneer. I thought it would be best to sand this off in the flat state. This worked fine, but reduced the thickness of the veneer to probably .015" in spots. In order to glue the seems together you use epoxy thickened with wood dust… I might have went overboard and you can see what it looks like here. It has to be sanded back down and that is where I experienced some sand through. I tired to use some wood filler, that that looks horrible and I am going to sand that back off tonight. I am scratching my head about this. I might just leave the sand through areas alone and go for an antique type of look. I am trying to convince myself that it would go well with this type of kayak.
