Robert, I understand your preference for the wet method. And the logic is sound. But, how do you cut and seal the wet fabric?

: The 'dry shrink' process is a hit or miss affair.
: If you search this forum, or qayaq usa forum, you will find many
: sad stories "I did everything right, but the skin became
: wrinkled when wet,
: what did I do wrong and how do I fix it?"
: There are many kinds of nylon, people use different ironing
: techniques, and different coatings. That's why the results are
: inconsistent.
: On the other hand, the 'sew wet' technique is reliable due to
: simple logic.
: Wet nylon is as loose as it gets, and if you sew it tight, it is
: physically impossible for it to get looser.
: 'Sew wet' is not as popular as 'dry shrink' because it is a bit
: more work during the sewing work, even though the reward is
: guaranteed ever-tight nylon.
