: Thanks guys. When I sewed on the polyester, I didn't pull really
: tight, but did pull it so it was snug while stiching. Jeff- I
: used your video for instruction, so thanks for that. It was very
: helpful. Other than the pull holes, everything went very well.
: Dave- I like your idea of using half cured/thickened urethane to
: plug holes. That should work out just fine. My holes aren't
: HUGE, but enough so that the first 3 coats of fresh paint didn't
: want to completely seal them. A fourth heavy coat along the
: stiched area worked though...... On the ZAR boat, I'll use the
: thickened urethane to seal them up. Can you use any of the skin
: dye's with the ZAR? I look the translucent look, but would also
: like a bit of color.

You can use artist's oil paint to tint any oil based varnish, works great, lots of color choices.
