I use a strip 2 in wide and about 8-10 inches long on each side of the seat. I place the strips about 2.3 of the way between the keelson and the edge of the seat, though I don't know if that's the best placement or not; it just seems to work for me. If the bottom of the boat is prepped well, and if I use 2 or 3 coats of Weldwood contact cement, those strips will hold up through at least 4 to 6 changes of seat position and at least 3 years of reasonable use. Beyond that, I can't say. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
