In Response To: Re: Lashing (West)

: With Dysons aluminum frames he says to coat the lashings with epoxy this
: makes them rigid so they do not flex. Uncoated lashings usually allow
: slight flex depending on lashing materials and how tightly they are done.
: Uncoated lashing can suffer from abrasion.

: An alternative is sikaflex marine adhesive it allows quite a bit of flex and
: holds up quite well.

In a traditional SOF, the lashing is simply coated with Linseed oil, or nothing at all.
