I am currently building the Midwest Peterboro Canoe. I want to make sure that the finished hull comes off of the frames cleanly. I was thinking of giving the frames a coat or two of wipe on poly prior to starting the assembly.  I will be using PVA ( Titebond ) will the poly prevent the glue from adhering to the frames? Or is there a better more proven method? Or am I just over thinking it as I usually do?

1.  Paint on melted parafin (wax - available in supermarket or hardware store under "home canning supplies.")

 

2. Best option, cover entire framework with plastic cling-wrap.

In the end I wound up applying a couple of coats of wipe on poly. As you can see the building frame stayed nice and clean. Clearly visible glue residue inside the hull but not a drop of glue on the frame.20200318_160707.thumb.jpg.793e9aea780a3e134cbb5ec7845de7d8.jpg
