Necky Composites

A very basic and well-done video is from Necky Composites.

It demonstrates the toughness of epoxy laminates when he starts the video by beating the kayak with a hammer.  He also does a good job of discussing the construction techniques of his kayaks and gives some good detail on materials and processes.

I have used the Soric and Divinycell, and the adhesive he discusses.  They all have their places and special techniques for application.  Many of these materials have been around a long time, and sometimes they have been misused in applications that they didn’t belong.  I have personally witnessed some of these horror stories concerning delamination and improper adhesion.

The video quality and production is very rudimentary, but the content is very good.  I am not a kayaker, but it makes me want to get one of these!
