Traditional Option
Post-head Canvassing

 

  With the stapleing complete it's time to take the pride out of those staples! Now be careful, we are only keep those staples along the edge, the rest will be removed! Hammer them home..  
    With the edge fastened, remove all the extra staples used to hold things in place and trim the excess canvas to make a nice finished bottom.

  Time for some insurance....

Paint will stiffen things up some, but not enough for my likeing along the bottom. Using epoxy, glue or GAC 700 seal the canvas edge to the base and smooth it out.

 
    Don't forgeth the tail and make sure you cover those tacks!
