In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Material Question (KyleS)

: I am working on a Skin on frame kayak using coverlight for the
: fabric skin. Where do I purchase the vinyl cement for gluing the
: deck to the hull? I have found HH-66 vinyl cement online, but
: the shipping is a killer. The material is $7.00 or so and the
: shipping is over $10. What type of store would carry this
: locally? I haven't been able to find an upholstry dealer
: locally. SE Minnesota.

: Also, do you generally order West System Epoxy or is it easy enough
: to find locally? Nobody carries it within an hour of my home.

Land of Lakes and no West Marine? If you can't find West epoxy locally it's not that hard to order it.

Look in the yellow pages of the phone book for upholstry places, most places have lots of them.
