Hi
I'm looking for some generous soul to help me out. I'm having a lot of problems skinning my SOF. I have a decently clear picture on what to do in general, what I had intended to do, and different ways of skinning. However, my actual execution is really poor. My fear is that I may spend several more hours sewing, and in the end I'll have to turf my nylon and start all over again. This also means I would have to drive to Bellingham again to get cloth, etc. My troubles are pretty much explained here: Qajaqusa forum post by me.
I live in Vancouver (east van) and would be happier than pig in a poo pile if someone local could drop by and help me out and get me over my learning hump. I could also pay that person with money or beer, or combinations thereof. I may be able to drive to someone's place too, since I have the skin tacked on the kayak and maybe with a few wraps of plastic wrap it would be safe for carrying on top of a vehicle. I know it's not likely that people have much free time and this is how they would like to spend it (I'm in the same boat!) but I thought I would take a chance and ask.
cheers
Doug
