I'm building a skin on bamboo frame kayak. She's fully skinned and ready to paint; but I have a dilemma.
There are pull holes - particularly at the tips of the stems. Probably I pulled the fabric too tight prior to ironing. [On the plus side there are relatively few wrinkles!! ]
I have read where lexel caulk can be used to fill pull holes. So now I am thinking of sequence of events. One Kudzu post said lexel before you paint. But another Kudzu post said the thinned first coat of paint will assure a consistent look to the interior of the kayak.
So I am thinking of lexel between first and second coats of paint. Is that a good idea? Or is lexel prior to painting necessary to assure adhesion of caulk to the fabric?
Thanks -- Bob
