: I use Goop brand Marine Goop for stitch holes and deck lines. Seems
: to stick well, and it doesn't seem to yellow like Aqua Seal does
: when exposed to the sun. Also, sets up firm, yet still flexible.

Another thing is... small stitching holes in the seam usually makes very little difference, unless you tend to paddle upside down. :P

as it's usually never underwater very little water gets in even through the larger holes you might make while stitching.
