I shape about 2 or three boards a year for my personal use. Transporting blanks and resin to an island off the east coast of Canada is not only a logistical nightmare (resin is classified as dangerous goods) but hellishly expensive. My only salvation is the fact I travel to the U.S. a fair amount for my job. Here’s my question: If cut a ten foot blank in half or even thirds (to avoid excess baggage charges), can it be glued together before shaping and glassing and still survive an ovehead set ???. I’d use 2 layers of 6 ounce E glass top and bottom with and extra foot long piece of glass over the disection.

You have got to be kidding. The strength will be cut in half as well!!!>>> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
You have got to be kidding. The strength will be cut in half as well!!! YOU CANT COMPROMISE THE STRINGER LIKE THAT AND EXPECT THE SAME STRENGTH
All of this talk begs the question: can a broken or buckled board be repaired? love is a strong emotion.>>> YOU CANT COMPROMISE THE STRINGER LIKE THAT AND EXPECT THE SAME STRENGTH
