How best to use PVC?

Tom,

I'm trying to envision how this could be applied to an SOF frame. Does the following sound feasible?

- Stretch the hull material into place and staple it to the top or inside of the gunwales

- Stretch the deck material into place and glue it to the hull material at the gunwales.

- Trim the deck edges flush with the outer edge of the gunales, then seal them with additional glue.

- Sew the coaming in place in the traditional manner and seal with the PVC glue.

BTW, is this material fabric reinforced or is it like pool liner material?

Thanks

Brian

Why Dacron?

Dacron = polyester
