Thanks....(The orange and blk. kayak on the floor) people cant see it is covered in fabric till I point it out to them....So I wanted a transparent-rustic looking finish that would show off the frame from a distance out on the lake...
I coated the fabric with min wax pecan pollyshades then a couple of coats of helmsman's spar urethane....
The frame weighed 20lbs. before the 8oz.dacron polyester fabric and paint....
It weighs 27 lbs....before seat mounts and some small floor boards...
