In Response To: Re: Bill- quick question (Rich D)

I have the same problem with finishes cracking where my knees touch and on one boat where my toes hit the underdeck. Do you thin the adhesive to get better saturation of the fabric? I think the main problem with loosening fabric is that only one side is properly sealed to prevent water penetration; that's why the skin loosens the most on humid days or when I have the spray deck on. Also- how smooth of a finish can you get with the adhesive?
