In Response To: Re: Skin-on-Frame: attaching coaming (Dave Gentry)

: Interesting that you decided to paint it before attaching the
: coaming - I hope that works for you. Your plan sounds fine - but
: you might want to give it more than an inch. I usually fold the
: fabric over once or twice, and sew through that.
: You should still be able to heat shrink the fabric with the paint
: on (carefully!), if you can't get it to conform perfectly to
: your coaming.

: Good luck - I'm looking forward to seeing both ya'lls boats!

: Dave

Sewing it up after painting worked fine
