Received a personal tour from Will today. The people on the manufacturing floor were so attentive to the details and were all smiles as I walked through. The fact the the manufacturing is done in house, from molding to stitching, to aluminum bending, high quality is assured. After seeing the manufacturing processes up close there is no reason to look any further for manufacturer. I look forward to my new Heritage! Thanks again for the great tour!

What is the bonding putty called?

[@floridaflyfishing3457]

That bedding compound is the worst when rebuilding boats

Hey what is the black glue called? Cheers Chris

[@SportsmanBoatsOffical]

What you're referring to is called methyl methacrylate. It's a bonding agent with incredible strength properties for bonding pieces together.
