I started the process of building the Pygmy Kayak by reading the instruction booklet and getting all my additional materials and tools ready.
In this photo you can see all the pieces that had to be glued together to make the hull. The darker areas on the wood are where the epoxy was applied and allowed to cure overnight.
Here you can see a close-up of a seam being glued together. The shiny color is wet epoxy. Once applied you lay down a strip of fiberglass, wet it with epoxy, lay some clear plastic over it, then a flat piece of wood and a brick for weight.
Return the next day, remove the brick, wood and then peel off the plastic to reveal a secure joint.
