2. 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.

3. Carvel (boat building) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carvel_(boat_building)

   Modern waterproof glues, especially epoxy resin, have caused revolutionary changes in carvel and clinker construction. Traditionally, nails provided the fastening strength; now it is the glue. It has become quite common since the 1980s for carvel and clinker construction to rely almost completely on glue for fastening.

4. Epoxy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy

   Epoxy resin formulations are important in the electronics industry, and are employed in motors, generators, transformers, switchgear, bushings, insulators, printed wiring boards (PWB), and semiconductor encapsulants. Epoxy resins are excellent electrical insulators and protect electrical components from short circuiting, dust and moisture.

5. 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.

6. 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 ...

7. Boat building - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boat_building

   Epoxy resin: a two-part thermosetting polymer increasingly used in modern wooden boat building variously as an adhesive, filler (admixed with other materials), and a moisture-resistant barrier in hull and deck construction, sometimes applied in conjunction with reinforcing cloths such as fibreglass, kevlar or carbon fibre.
