Hi

Ther is several ways on the internet to skin a kayak. Now when I´m getting closer to the skinning part I start wondering which way I should go.

We have:

* The skinboat shool
* Building the greenland kayak writen by Christopher Cunningham
* http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-a-Greenland-kayak-part-7/?ALLSTEPS

how to span the skin? with staples, extra sinew in a sick sack way or just sew it tight?
any pros and cons?
