Happy spring everyone. I think I saw it for a second this weekend.
I bought the machine woven seats from Bear Mountain, and was wondering if I need to remove the vinyl seating off the frame to prep for sealing?
Will I need to buy new seating material, or can I reuse the mesh I've removed?
Really looking forward to getting back to work on the beast.
Cheers
Chris.

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question, but how is your canoe coming?
It feels like it's been a while since I've seen an update but you were close, right?
I feel your non-spring pain...here in the Maritimes I'm seeing our first decent 'spring time' weather forecast for the coming week. FINALLY!

Unfortunately, with two young kids and a non insulated garage, I was unable to really do any work... That's the real reason I'm spoiling for spring. So I can play with my sawdust machine and pull splinters from unsuspecting body parts again.
Cheers

You should be able to finish the seats as is (with weaving in place).
