Hey guys,
sorry for not having replied sooner, but I just found the reply all button
recently (3 minutes ago :-)). And of course thanks for the great answers I
got on my first posting on the pouchboats forum.
As some of you might remember, I planned to make a north alaska retreival
kayak, similar to Peter Copellas boat.
I remember that I have seen tube bendinb devices at my local hardwear
store, so I'll try to bend the frames out of aluminium túbing. They will be
connected to the stringers by ordinary cable binders. (the tubes are allready
ordered!)
For the hull material I found polyurethane coated polyester (It was dead
cheap, so Ididn' t look any further for a nylon fabric). Of course the
coating is way too thin to be durable enough. I don't think that it' ll be able to
withstand the abuse a boat gets.
So here ' s my question: Does anybody have a cheap idea how to waterproof
the fabric (one side is still uncoated)? I thought about a thinned
100%silicone sealer for windows?
Any comments?
Thank you very much in advance.
Christian
