: This winter's project was building a new Kayak bases on Brian
: Schulz's F1. Today spring arrived and it was time to get
: paddling. Just to make sure things are right, I skinned the boat
: with heat shrink covering. Easy, and cheep enough to replace but
: sturdy enough to use for a semi permanent skin. Eventually it
: will get a Dacron skin. Does anyone have a good solution for a
: high gloss, bright (don't hit me) yellow paint/ finish? Many of
: the preferred paints are limited in their colors.

: The basic hull shape is as close as I could get but the foredeck
: and bow are of my design.

: The link has some construction details and in particular an example
: of the difference in results that a proper steam box can
: provide.

What " heat shrink covering"? There are several things that heat shrink, some can be painted, some can't.
