Scott,

You're welcome to come over and take a look at the one I made for Andrew's boat. I build it basically as Reg did in his demo last year, except I glued on a rim of Nylon one sided around the rim with the grippy side out. Ufortunately, I also missed the demo this year. Also, I helped Doug Hanson start a neoprene one built to the pattern for from Chris Cunningham's book, purple neoprene and all. I haven't seen the finished product yet and am anxious to see how it turned out.

: I'm sorry that I missed the demo at R2K3.

: I have some 3mm nylon-2-sides. Can I just use the black neoprene glue with
: the nylon on or should I remove the nylon somehow on areas where I can't
: do a butt joint?

: Was there a handout for the demo? Any chance you could email it or send it to
: me? I have seen the web site referenced on the John L. Sweet site, but
: haven't made the leap to trying a make my own neoprene skirt yet...

: Thanks
