: The Duckworks article mentioned using it. I can how one could have
: issues if the Dacron wasn't fully bonded to the frame. Mine
: stuck very well even when I shrunk the hull before attaching the
: deck (I have NO idea why I did it that way.). Staple work great,
: thought for a bright finished skin, I liked that I didn't need a
: rubstrip to hide them.

: You know... I keep having this crazy thought of doing away with
: either staples or glue. Think: SPLINES. Maybe for just a deck
: (ala "Elsie")... hmmm. I may have to try it on my
: daughter's new boat (to be built in the spring). I'm making her
: another Greenland paddle for Christmas. This one will be sleeved
: with CF/pink-colored fiberglass to match her new boat!

: =D

In the summer 2009 newsletter, there is an article about using spline for attaching skin to an sof baidarka, page 14 to 26.
