Canvas
This is untreated
Midwest Cotton Duck, which is what has been used to cover canoes
of over 100 years. It can be stretched to fit a canoe like a tight
glove and is extremely tough and durable. Since it is untreated
and of cotton it is recommended that the canvas be treated with
a preservative once on the canoe. The canvas is available in two
widths, each of a different weight. The standard for most canoes
is 60" wide and a #10 duck, which weighs approximately 15 ounces
per square yard. For square stern canoes and sport boats we offer
a 72' wide #8 duck which weighs about 18 ounces per yard.

Dacron
This is a polyester fabric like that used on fabric covered aircraft,
though slightly heavier. It is heat-shrinkable to fit a canoe or
boat very tightly. Our fabric is 66" wide and weighs 3.7 ounces
per square yard.
$7.50/yard (Add to your cart, then select the
number of yards).

Canvas Filler
Our canvas filler is linseed oil-based with ground silica solids
and other compounds along with thinners and driers to help it cure
relatively quickly and fill evenly. The result is a canvas filler
that can be rubbed into the weave of the canvas fairly rapidly.
It should be ready for paint within two weeks at room temperature.

Dacron Glue
This is a heat-sensitive glue that is used to glue the polyester
fabric to the upper edge of the canoe and at the stems. It is brushed
on and allowed to dry before the fabric is applied.
Offered in 3 ounce bottles. $12

Dacron Bias Tape
2 inch wide bias tape has its weave on a 45 degree bias so it can
be used to wrap around the stem of a canoe without bunching. This
is designed to be glued in place with the Dacron glue. Sold by the
foot. There are seams every so often on this tape, so order a bit
extra to cut these out.
$.50 / foot Add to your cart and select the number
of feet you desire.
