: Hi Bill, Thanks for your good input. Paul is right however. The
: heat shrink skin is just to get me on the water faster and give
: me the opportunity to paddle and see if I need to make any
: changes before I commit the time & $ on a more permanent
: skin. If I need to make any adjustments, it is a simple matter
: to cut off this skin and put on another. The 8 mil should give
: me an opportunity to do a lot of test paddling and get a good
: feel on how well I did in crafting the type of boat that Brian
: designed.

: Even reading all of the post on this board, there have been lots of
: learning curves to slide down. Getting the proper rib shapes was
: not the only time that I took things apart to get them right.

The paint shouldn't be a prolbem then, even "that" color . Either Interlux Britesides or Pettit's Easy-Poxy I think both have yellow.
