Skin-on-Frame: Tom Yost Vinyl Skin Installation

Tom, or anyone else,

I was looking at Tom's SeeBee 13 SOF kayak and saw that he promised directions on how to do a vinyl skin installation.
I sure would like to see it. The pictures of completed boats are all very nice, but they offer no hint of how to do it.
Directions to an illustrated guide would be best, but anything would help. where do you make the major joints? How do you hold the skin in place for gluing?

I know this is not abraison resistant, but does that mean scratches, or wearing all the way thru, or rips comming into the beach or all three?

Thanks,

Marc
