Do you know if Dan has a source for the heavy-duty velcro? I'm about to lay down my initial attempt at a minicell seat for my Pygmy Osprey Std and I'm using duct tape during the trial-and-error phase. But, I'm sure the velcro will be plenty sturdy to immobilize the seat. I would imagine contact cement would work on both surfaces to adhere the velcro, but maybe there is an industrial-grade velcro with adhesive already on it. BTW, did you ever get that little ammo can stove going? Just curious. Second BTW: I could not get your email address (craigo_at_az.com) to work, so this is posted to the list. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Feb 18 1998 - 08:10:48 PST
