I found heating the nylon cord up over a controlled flame and then pulling on the cord tight , about 15cm length,it then is thinner and the cord goes hard so it doesn't bunch up when trying to tread it.

What is the length of the strap you are using to secure the float bag in? Also, others I have watched forgo the stearn strap, arguing that the stern seat will stop any forward movement; what are your thoughts on that?

Hi Stephan, thanks for your query, these are standard off the shelf 25mm webbing straps, I think they were 2,5m but I found that it was too long and I eventually cut them shorter. The length would very much depend on your bag size and to be safe just measure before buying. Further to the stern strap, you raise a good point and their is about a 3 inch gap between the stern seat and the bag so probably not necessary but I did it anyway while doing the straps, live and learn.

Without sealing the holes, is there any danger of water getting in between the two skins?

Hi Darren, good question, I researched this in quite a bit of detail(very nervous to drill into the canoe) checking out all the professionals and this is how they do it. No problem so far. Good luck ATB Grays

May I ask the size of the tubing? Perhaps I missed it mentioned. Thanks!

Hi David, don’t recall mentioning but I do have a piece left and it’s a FITT Cristello extra 6x8. Any pvc tubing should be fine 6x8 is the internal and external measurements in millimetres. This obviously depends on your rope diameter. I used a 5mm rope , it was a tight fit I pulled it through with a piece of string but the finished result was good. ATB. Grays

Why not just lace between the holes in the hull?

Hi, sorry so late to reply, sometimes comments get lost. I only needed the lacing to hold in the airbags and thought I could always extend it at a later stage. Works really well. Cheers for watching. ATB grays
