lattenkracher Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 my english is a bit rusty, I hope my explanation is understandable i have used orange fabric: applied transparent coating: applied adhesive letters: applied black coating: remove adhesive letters: The "M" is already removed, the "o" is not yet ... other side: "M" isn´t removed, "o" and "r" are already done, the "o" needs some cleaning. I have used cotton swab and paint thinner ready: finaly applied a new layer of transparent coating: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhardt57 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Really nice looking kayak! Can you describe the fabric you used? "COVID-19 changed every thing: " Actually it was the forced lockdowns that has done the most damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lattenkracher Posted May 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Sure It was my first SoF Project, but i found an experienced SoF Builder who was very Kind to give me many usefult hints. The fabric ist one of his hints. i have used "Novely Oxford 600D" it is waterproof so it could be used without coatig, but i never tried. Here you can see how it looks before "ironing" (You can also see that i will do an asymmetric sewing on the edge of the gunwale) It is not that flexible, so i have used "cut and glue" on stern and bow. It can easy and durable glued with "Sabacontact 70 T" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
