Step 15Lace the Skin Onto the Frame
Lace the cord back and forth across the deck to pull the skin tight.
Do it like this:
Poke hole under bolt rope in gunwale hem.
Poke loop of wire or monofilament through.
Put cord through loop.
Pull loop out.
Repeat back and forth across the deck.
Pull the cord tight. When you get to the end of a piece of cord, tie on a new one and continue.
If you're poking big holes and pulling small cord, here's another method to try:
melt the cord end and form it into a needle. Poke that through the hole and pull with needlenose pliers.
