Sewing the heat-shrink polyester skin on to the frame.

This is an adaptation of one of my favorite new designs. Skin on frame is a quick way to build a kayak, and I hope to get this done quickly and out on the water soon.

Nice job of the skin. That's how I did my last one, with the double cords, best seam I've ever done. I used the hemostats (forceps) to pinch the seam instead of the spring clamp, much more precise and they laid out of the way nicely.

Love it!!! Love it!!! I've got Petrel Play SG plans on the way but really really want to do a skin on frame. Keep up the great work looking forward to the skin on frame plans to come out. Stay safe every one....

I recommend you try Tiger Thread, which is a wax polyester braided thread used in leather work. It comes in many sizes and is super strong.

How do you shrink it evenly on both sides to ensure it doesn't cause twisting of the frame?

Can this method be used on lighter 6-8oz polyester cloth with good result? Thank you for illustrating how to deal with the bow/stern when using the welting cord . Always wondered how to finish the stitch . Do you think this would work on a qajaq like Yost Sea Rider with a long taper to the stems? Thanks
