: Contact cement also works to hold the fabric to the hull and has
: the advantage that it will soften (and re-harden) with heat so
: any wrinkles you get sticking the fabric to the hull can later
: be ironed out after the glue has set.

: It does tend to yellow the fabric some, so it would have to be
: painted if this was used to look right.

Btw, if you're using a heat shrinking material, like polyester, this works even better.
