beading/coving strips
I am building Bolger's motor canoe, which is a
strip-built boat. I remember Robb White promissing
(threatening?) that he would write an article for MAIB
to describe how to modify a plane iron or scraper or
somthing, to do the milling of the strips without a
router. I never did see the story that he promised.
Anyone know if it was ever published, or have other
ideas on milling the strips? Thanks, Sam

Lay the cloth in place. Spray the cloth with a mist of water with a couple
drops (just a couple) of dish detergent added, then paint w/ a stick-down
coat, works for me. Don't paint the deck and then put cloth on. What a mess.
Then add another coat or two to fill the weave more. I suspect two thin
coats work better then one thick coat.
I leave the texture obvious and have never tried to paint the glass til
it's smooth. For that I'd use epoxy.

Hi Tom, See pages 262-264, Boatbuilding by Howard Chappelle. I bought
10 ounce white duck for decking. In the end I chickened out. Chappelle
describes a dry laid method which makes sense, the problem for me was
in the stretching and fitting of the canvas, at least for my
application. One caution he makes very strongly, if you use glue sell
the boat before you have to recanvas because it is easier to redeck
than to remove canvas that has been glued on. Oil paint is used. Your
deck might check under the painted canvas but you will not notice it
probably. I'm not sure why you want canvas but if it's for the
appearance consider glassing your deck then canvasing it dry. If you
can't get hold of "Boatbuilding" I can scan the few pages for you.

Hi All,
Does anyone ever use canvas in paint for decks and particularly cabin
tops like was done years ago. I used a canvas covered canoe some that was
years old with just painted canvas covering and it had held up well and was still
going. I wondered if it might be a viable substitute for epoxy and fiberglass
in certain situations. Also, does anyone know what kind of ''canvas'' was used
and what paint (oil based paint??) and how it was applied, installed
whatever? Would this kind of treatment stop fir marine plywood from checking?
