: Roger,
: Why, a budding Chapelle. Tell me kind sir what is used to seal the dacron?
: I've seen hypelon (sp?) mentioned. Is this a rubberized paint? Safety gear
: is needed as this stuff appears to be nasty. Are there other options?
: Thanks.
: Geo. Cushing

I bumped into Harvey Golden a few weeks ago at his place of work. He’s using Polyurethane on the polyester. One nice feature about polyester is its heat shrink abillity.
Harvey’s boats have to be seen to be believed. They are on display at Crosscut Hardwood in Portland Oregon. Last time I was in there had had about 13 boats on display.
