More Rear Stem

I've been looking around for some sloow setting epoxy to glue the rear stem. Most of the hardware stores sell a quick setting 5 minute version. Not exactly the time frame I'm looking for. After some searching I find a 4 hour set time - might be enough.

The back of the canoe is at the back of the shop-age (shop/garage) so I clear all the accumulated stuff off the strong back and with some help from Laurie we muscle it out, spin it around and muscle it back in. I clean up the lleading edge of the canoe as much as possible to get a good fit with the stem. It's not exact but it will do. I dry fit with some straps, mix up the epoxy and glue away. I'll let it set for a few days and see how it holds.
