Winterkill 
                The fate of a "Cheap Canoe" finished 
                  in polyester resin and left out over two Catskill Mountain winters. 
                  I built its twin a few weeks later but used epoxy resin and 
                  that boat has spent two winters outdoors in Massachusetts and 
                  is in great shape, in fact I paddled it just a few weeks go.
