I have been away for some time but just rejoined and found this string. Interesting because I have had trouble entering my Curlew since it was built with the frame interfering with my legs. Lived with it for several years though treating it like my ocean cockpit Greenland boat for entry. I decided, while bored, to change things but I went a little overboard ( see pictures). Was really surprised to see that Jeff had come up with something similar. I, however, didn’t need to lower my deck but to raise it. At any rate I’m ready to oil and then skin.
I see the old 8oz is out of stock so will have to use the new material. Does it shrink at all with ironing? Also, has anyone tried a mineral filler on the hull to help close the weave. I have an idea in mind but wondering what else has been tried.
