mrhookup Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Just picked up a couple of spoon pads from Amish Outfitters to hang our spoons from under the gunnels. I'd like to have them snap into place but the pads dont have snaps and the foam for them is quit thick. Anyone have a good way to either add snaps to the pads or mount them under the gunnels in a fashion that I removable but wont bounce around when running through a good chop?
SeaCatMich Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 3M makes a product called Hook & Loop fasteners that should work. It is similar to velcro but lots stronger. Comes in pieces and rolls with peel off self adhesive on the back. Can get it at most home improvement stores like Lowe's and Menard's or an electronics supply store.
Line Dancin Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Get a leather punch http://www.amazon.com/SE-7924LP-Heavy-Duty-Leather-Punch/dp/B000NK5VY2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443052660&sr=8-1&keywords=leather+punchto punch your holes and a snap set http://www.amazon.com/47-Piece-Canvas-Fastener-Kit/dp/B007PKCZJW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1443052841&sr=8-4&keywords=marine+snap+set. that you use a hammer with the little cheap one use the snap cap but then use the longer stem it is the one for the male part of the snap as it is longer and use the anvil and punch and whack it a couple times.
Whoopee Tyee Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 The best place to shop for DYI canvas work is Sailrite.http://www.sailrite.com/I've bought tools and sewing machine and made a front cover for my Tyee to keep the water from coming in on rough days. They have all of the tools and snaps you need.
