2. Strip-built - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strip-built

   Strip-built, or "strip-plank epoxy", is a method of boat building. [1] Also known as cold molding, the strip-built method is commonly used for canoes and kayaks, but also suitable for larger boats. The process involves securing narrow, flexible strips of wood edge-to-edge around temporary formers.

3. Epoxy value - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy_value

   The epoxy value is defined as the number of moles of epoxy group per 100g resin. So as an example using an epoxy resin with molar mass of 382 and that has 2 moles of epoxy groups per mole of resin, the EEW = 382/2 = 191, and the epoxy value is calculated as follows: 100/191 = 0.53 (i.e. the epoxy value of the resin is 0.53). [6]

4. Stitch and glue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stitch_and_glue

   The one sheet boat (OSB, cf. oriented strand board) is an outgrowth of the stitch and glue technique. The OSB is a boat that can be built using a single sheet of 4 foot by 8 foot plywood (1.22 m × 2.44 m). Some additional wood is often used, for supports, chines, or as a transom, though some can be built entirely with the sheet of plywood ...

5. Resorcinol glue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resorcinol_glue

   [1] [2] The adhesive, introduced in 1943, has been popular in aircraft and boat construction. [2] Until the invention of epoxy resin, resorcinol was one of the most common marine glues. Unlike epoxy, it does not have gap filling properties, requiring joints to be close fitting and clamped under pressure to achieve good results.

6. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

   Used mainly to determine the minimum water depth for safe passage of a vessel and to calculate the vessel's displacement (obtained from ship's stability tables) so as to determine the mass of cargo on board. Draft, Air – Air Draft/Draught is the distance from the water line to the highest point on a ship (including antennas) while it is ...

7. Length overall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_overall

   LOA (length overall) & LWL (waterline length) Detailed hull dimensions Length overall (LOA, o/a, o.a. or oa) is the maximum length of a vessel's hull measured parallel to the waterline.

8. Fibre-reinforced plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic

   The polymer is usually an epoxy, vinyl ester, or polyester thermosetting plastic, though phenol formaldehyde resins are still in use. FRPs are commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, marine, and construction industries. They are commonly found in ballistic armour and cylinders for self-contained breathing apparatuses.

9. Amine value - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amine_value

   The amine value is useful in helping determine the correct stoichiometry of a two component amine cure epoxy resin system. [6] [7] [8]It is the number of Nitrogens x 56.1 (Mwt of KOH) x 1000 (convert to milligrams) divided by molecular mass of the amine functional compound.
