: Can't speak for Barry but it looks to me like he's done it the way
: I do it. I use wood dowels in place of the screws that are held
: in place with carpenter's glue (Titebond) that way if I have to
: take the coaming off later I just drill out the dowels and can
: pry the coaming off. I use Lexel to seal the coaming to the
: fabric, makes a reliable seal that can be removed later on if
: needed. I've had to replace one coaming so far, I just oversized
: the dowels one size larger when I put the coaming back on, easy.

: Nice thing about doing it this way is it's easy to sand the
: underside of the coaming where the dowels come thru to make it
: nice and smooth and flush. Much easier on the legs than the
: protruding machine screws and nuts.

: Bill H.

Bill, I did it your way with the dowels but I forgot that you didn't glue the coaming down. I epoxyied it with the dowels (hoping) it never has to come off. I like your way and I started to use silicone knowing that it is a fair glue but could be removed.
