Hello everyone
I'm new to the forum and is presently restoring a trembley canoe. I have been reading through a lot of the great information posted on the forum. I have replaced 1 stem, a few ribs and about 50% of the planks. I have stripped the interior of the canoe also. The question I have is what to do to treat the inside and outside of the canoe before putting the canvas on? The canoe is really dried out. Should I put something on it to soak into the wood? I have been working on this for a few years, mostly reading a book on this. Any help would be appreciated!
