Subject: [baidarka] How, and when, to attach thingamajigs to deck
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 1998 07:11:33 -0500
I want to attach some stainless O-rings to the outside of my kayak deck,
for lashing gear. What's the best way to do this? Do you attach them
to them to the gunwales, by sewing a stitch around the gunwales, or do
you simply sew through the fabric, and use a washer(or something like
that) to reinforce the underside or the stitching? Also, when's the
best time to attach these - before, or after I apply the Hypalon? It
seems that each would have some advantages and disadvantages. Any
advice is welcome. Thanks!(p.s., Rick - I'll have a photo for your
kayak registry, within a few weeks)
