TOOLS REQUIRED: Clean dry cloth * Plastic sheet for drip cover * 2” wide masking tape * Disposable
gloves * Disposable paintbrush * Measuring tape
For Polyethylene canoes: Small handheld propane torch
Before getting started we recommend sorting out and separating the parts for easy access during assembly.
Step 1: Preparing the Surface:
Fig.#1 Masking felt perimeter
14”
Position canoe upside down in a clean, well-ventilated area out of
direct sunlight
Measure 14 inches from the edge of the black deck to the bottom of
the canoe and place mark. The narrow end of skid plate will start
here.
Lay one piece of the skid plate felt with the smoother side up on the
center of the bottom, using 2 small pieces of masking tape on each
end to hold it in place.
Mask 1/8” away from perimeter of the skid plate with tape – See
Fig.#1. Cut the small tape pieces and remove the felt.
