: Interesting.

: You'll also benefit if you keep that nylon soaking wet while you
: stretch it on.

: One of the things I like about sewing (never tried stapling) is
: that I can always whip another row of stitches down the center
: and gather in more material and tension the skin further.

: What if the staples loosen and pull out? Nylon is funny how it
: shrinks and expands. The wood expands and contracts too. Sewing
: is dependable I think because you're basically making a custom
: fit bag independent of any other structure?

I had not considered the idea of being able to run a second seam to tighten it up more... thats interesting. I am planning on taking it from the shop into another room thats airconditioned to a chilly degree, and misting the nylon with a garden sprayer as i skinned it.

Thanks!
