: Thank you, Shawn!

: I have studied your fiberglass seat closely, and really like it. But I wonder
: what to use for a mold...

Your own @__!!

: Your website was 'temporarily unavailable' today.

Sorry my website isnt accessible--Geocities does that when there's too much access at any one time. You might even try it in an hour or so.

:But if I recall correctly, yours was molded from a Dagger seat?

Actually, that's Ross Leidy's:
http://www.blueheronkayaks.com/kayak/buildingInfo/seatmold.htm

His seat was the inspiration for my seat. I never found a production seat that was comfortable enough to copy, so I made my own mold. Once my site is accessible, you can see how I made a custom mold with a plywood box filled with wet sand, covered with plaster of paris.

: I wonder where I could borry a yak to
: make a seat from? What other things might have form-fitted seats that I
: could think about? My little plastic boats are close, but not quite the
: ticket. Hmmm...

If they're not exactly as you like them, don't waste your time copying their fit.

: In the meantime, the mini cell 'wedgies' sound good too. I understand it's a
: matter of distributing contact as completely as possible.

Yup!

Happy building,
Shawn
