Kudzu Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Anyone have an ideas for a use for the scrap Dacron? I always have a short piece on the end the roll less than 12' that I can't sell. Plus scraps from building the boats. I just hate putting it in the landfill but I can't come up with a a use for it. I could cut up some samples but I would still have a lot left and I just hate waste. Quote
Aethyr Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Make scale models for displaying at events/fairs/etc. 12' kayak make into ~12" kayak? so people can get a feel for various models. Quote
Kudzu Posted June 4, 2012 Author Posted June 4, 2012 Not a bad idea, I have talked about it. But that wouldn't make a dent in my scrap! Quote
woodman Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I made a drift sock which works realy well for those who like fishing frome their kayak......... Quote
Still Smilin' Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 You might build one of these......... for small bits........ or get more technical....... Quote
woodman Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Great idea and nice looking lamps.....how about a kayak wall sculpture-lamp... As for left over 12' pcs. at the end of a roll the 10' childrens kayak is the answer... Quote
goyousalukis Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Still smilin', great job! I was just thinking about posting about other uses for fiberglass tape and epoxy since I bought way more tape than I will use. Can you provide any construction tips/details? Did you just build the frame and then glass over it? Regards, Justin Quote
FloatingBear Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Small remote control sail boats. SOF of course. Quote
woodman Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I used scrap for the deck of my Grandson's 12footer...Just had seams on each side of the cockpit ring.... and I stapled the fabric at the sheer line being I used 1/8'' Baltic Birch for the hull..... Quote
