Hi Mike

David Barrett and I were just talking about that last night during a visit. He mentioned that I should lash my joints, especially the 1/2 laps I used to splice longer pieces. My question is: With what do I do it and do I coat it afterwards ( as in epoxy or varathane ) to protect the lashing? Also, what kind of wear do you suspect that will cause on the canvas skin in these areas? Thanks in advance....
