Building Handy Punt ?'s
Okay, I ordered the digital plans but I don't know how they're delivered yet, no indication from Duck Works on that. Anyone purchased digital plans from them? Do they come via email, or must they be downloaded?
Some other questions:
Are the 6 liters of resin called for in the BOM used for gluing only, or for coating surfaces as well? I'm going to prime and paint, not coat with resin, because there is no epoxy here in Ecuador.
Since I'll be using polyester resin for taping seams (with cloth), how much resin am I likely to need?
I can get 5.2mm ply here. Should I be using 9mm for any of the panels, or will this serve as well as the 6mm called for?
Has anyone moved the chine logs inside? On my kayak they are inside, looks nicer (this is the designer's page): http://www.smallboatforum.com/PDFfiles/Jozebote2.pdf
TIA

Hi
I have ordered digital plans couble of times - If I remember right, I got link where to download the plans after I had made the payment. So if you have made the payment and did not get the link - I think you should email to duckworks and tell that there is a problem with download.

Thanks Perttu, I did email them and DuckWorks does it a bit differently. They will email the plans to me-- later today, I believe.
I'm looking forward to a response from Mik to my other questions.

Hi Jerry,
If you haven't heard by now I would contact Duckworks. If there is some sort of delay, for whatever reason I will send you the plans by email myself.
The 6litres is to do coating. So you could get away with about 1/3 that amount if you were careful, but would probably recommend half that amount to most first time builders - 3 litres.
Since I'll be using polyester resin for taping seams (with cloth), how much resin am I likely to need?
I can get 5.2mm ply here. Should I be using 9mm for any of the panels, or will this serve as well as the 6mm called for?

Michael, thanks very much for the advice. By the way, plans did arrive by email last night. Quite complete!
Chine logs inside: good. Question I meant to ask: has anyone put the transom framing inside? That would look slick.

Howdy,
A number of people have put the bow transom framing on the inside.
It is fractionally easier to build with the framing on the outside, but not big obstruction if you flip it around.
Main thing it to allow enough overhang on the bottom cleat glued to the bow transom for the bevel.
That bottom cleat will have to be 19 x minimum 70mm with 40mm allowed to overhang the bow transom ply edge to provide for the very obtuse angle of the bevel.
Best wishes
MIK
