Thanks Charles,
I'll give that a bash.
Any clue on our to glue the vinyl? I take it that you cannot exactly sew this stuff.
Another thing. Do you just stretch it on or is there some way to shrink it?
Sorry for all the silly questons

Fernando: I think Tom Yost stapled the hull and the deck pieces separately to the gunwales and then put a trim piece over them to hide the staples. If you look at the pictures of the clear vinyl kayaks you can see the trim piece over the gunwales.
