Hello everyone at Noah’s,
This past January I was in your Toronto shop getting my latest supplies for my winter project of 2 skimboards that I was building with my 14 year old son Alex.

I wanted to share a Noah’s “success story” with you as I had purchased all of my materials of corecell, glass & East Epoxy from you, as well to say thank you as getting such valuable advice from your staff.

Skimboards are like small surfboards but without the skegs and you do it at the water’s edge. There are 2 forms of the sport – 1 like skateboarding on the water and the other like surfing but you are “skimming” out from the shoreline to catch a wave to ride back in on.

The pdf file attached shows some of process and the picture is of my son with his 2 new boards.

Thanks very much for all your help – you would be surprised at how a few words of advice from your staff carry over to the success of a project.

P.S. Next year we’ll probably “upgrade” to corecell & carbon fibre.

Cheers, Paul

If it wasn't for you guys and all your help and great advice and materials this project would not have turned out as good as it did. Well we finally finished it and I wanted to share the results as we are pretty proud of the job and never mind the performance he is getting. We had hoped for speed in the range of 68 - 72 mph and are currently running in the 77-78 mph, not bad for a 30 year old boat and 25 year old motor.

Hi there. Hope you are all doing well.

Last summer, I purchased marine paint at Noah’s for the cedar canvas canoe I built.

At that time, you requested that I provide some photos once completed.

Please find attached, as requested. Happy to provide others too, if you’d like to see more of it.

Thank you again for all of your help, encouragement, advice and expertise.

Take care, Melissa Thomson

In 2007 I started work on a cedar strip canoe and just got around to completing it. It is a 17 1/2 ft Winisk from Green Valley. Though I purchased the plans direct from Green Valley, I purchased a lot of the initial supplies at Noah's and so thought I'd mention it here.

I am in the process of restoring my 1967 Morgan 34 sailboat.

The deck was stripped of all hardware and prepared according to Epifanes guidelines: 2 coats of Epifanes epoxy, the second coat sanded with 220 grit.

The paint was rolled on, and not tipped. The only departure from spec's was the use of Bristol Tropical Reducer in combination with Epifanes's reducer, to obtain a longer open time.

2 coats were applied on the first day, and a 3rd coat, without sanding, on the second day. Only smooth areas of the cabin top, toe rail area and cockpit were painted, with the anti-skid areas masked off.

Of note: on the day before painting all nonskid areas were painted with a solvent resistant, short nap roller (smooth masked off) using Epifanes
epoxy primer. Rolling in the same direction, and until tacky, yielded a consistent textured pattern that I was looking for. This will be painted with one coat of Epifanes 2 part polyurethane and a second one with the antiskid grit.

The ease of use of Epifanes 2 part polyurethane, and result, exceeded my expectations by far, as I had used Sikkens moisture cure poly on a similar job.
