Chest Nut
I took on the task of filling my canvas canoe project last night. I know to expect about 5 weeks for drying time. Is there any advantage to moving the canoe into the baking sun to help the filler dry?
Is it possible for the filler to cure too fast due to the heat of the sun?
Someone had mentioned glueing their canvas mitt together instead of sewing... what a great idea! My biggest hold up was getting around to sewing my mitt, the glue method worked pretty good.
How many mitts per canoe is normal? I did just the one and it was pretty much filled solid (smooth) by half way through the canoe. It's too late now but what are you after with the mitt? The sandpaper tecture of a new mitt or the smooth surface of a used mitt?
