FREE Treated Canvas

[MikeCav]

I haven't been active either as a canoe restorer or a WCHA member in a few years. Was cleaning out my shop and found canvas for a project that never got off the ground (or in the water!) I have 21 feet of #10 treated canvas (MR) that has been stored in plastic bags and then in a locked trunk for years. It is in new condition. FREE You pick up in the Albany NY area or pay for shipping. Hi to all! Maybe I'll make Assembly this year. Mike

This is a very generous offer, Mike - I almost jumped on it, but then remembered that I still have a good chunk of a bolt left, and WoodenBoat School will supply the canvas for my construction course. Hope someone takes advantage of your offer.

Hey Dan, I have an unopened gallon of Jerry & Rollins canvas filler. It's about 10-12 years old, but unopened, and sloshes in the can. According to their website it should be OK ...

"Northwoods Canoe Company offers the traditional oil-based filler. The traditional alkyd oil- and silica-based filler is mixed at the canoe shop. It is a durable filler that has proven performance on thousands of canoes. This filler needs three to six weeks for drying and creates a hard durable surface for enamel finish paint. It can be stored almost indefinitely at any temperature, but the ingredients will settle over time and must be remixed. Instructions for application are included and are also described in The Wood & Canvas Canoe."

What do you think? I'll offer it to members for free + Shipping - (which could be expensive) but don't want to stick someone with a big paper weight.

Bring it to Assembly and put it in the Auction...?
