Eerst beide zijden insmeren en (bijna) volledig laten uitharden. Dan nog een keer insmeren en vastlijmen. Zit als een huis en inderdaad wat netter dan tape ;-)<BR/><BR/>Succes,<BR/>Maarten van HaaftenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19951443.post-61198987826611790472007-09-13T08:46:00.000+02:002007-09-13T08:46:00.000+02:00Hi Hans,Yes those beads are a good idea.

You inspire me to install them as well.Have seen earlier a version with the model of a wooden ball, making it even easier to tuck your paddle underneath.<BR/><BR/>About the gluing of foam to the inside of the cockpit: I have very good and durable results by using 2-component epoxy-glue (from: Bison). Of course after rinsing the deck-surface properly.<BR/><BR/>About your conclusion ""but a well designed modern keyhole cockpit with decent thigh-grips gives far better boat-contact!"" I must say I don´t agree.<BR/>Of course: a WELL designed keyhole cockpit can have good boat contact. But properly applied foam to the underside of the deck in case of an ocean cockpit is even better: The comfort can be the same, but in a keyhole cockpit your knees can, in heavy surf, easier loose the contact.<BR/>And, sorry, the foam in your Pintail can be improved quit a lot.<BR/>You are stil welcome to experience my AnasAcuta wit foam, which has more or less the same deck-model.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>RenéAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19951443.post-86328350976316682802007-09-13T02:02:00.000+02:002007-09-13T02:02:00.000+02:00yeah, NO FAIR!!!!!!!!!!! lol..
