Spotlight on a river boat

What could be better for peacefully cruising down the Saône toward the shores of Lac des Eaux Bleues than this magnificent flat-bottomed boat, built using the SR 5550 / SD 5503 epoxy laminating system?

A true freshwater sailor, Mr. Pré presents here his faithful barge, made from laminated marine plywood.

A cabinetmaker specializing in marquetry and French polishing, he has been restoring antique furniture using fine wood veneers for over 30 years in his workshop located in Limonest.

His flat-bottomed boat measures 8 meters in length and 2.2 meters in width, but thanks to a clever system, it is retractable, making it easier to transport on a trailer.

Ideal for producing any type of wood laminate, the SR 5550 / SD 5503 epoxy system is the SICOMIN system used by all traditional shipyards for bonding, laminating, and coating solid or exotic wood.

When combined with WOOD FILL 250, it allows the creation of fillet joints—a specific construction technique that increases mechanical strength. This method of joining wooden parts together provides both strength and lightness to the entire wooden structure.
