: Dave,
: Very ingeneous. I used the fishing line trick to pull the padeyes through on
: my younger daughter's boat last night; it worked very well. We still need
: to cut the slots on my older daughter's boat. Previously you said you cut
: the slots after varnishing; the double stick and packing tapes didn't
: effect the varnish any?

: Thanks,
: Jon T

I use embroidery hooks to pull the padeyes thru, also works well for fishing rigging line thru the loops or the bow and stern toggles.
