metal you are fastening into and ensure
you are using a screw that will not cause
corrosion due to dissimilar metals. This is
especially true for saltwater applications.
If you are mounting into fiberglass, use a
stainless steel screw.
Step Six: Close or open the track
After installing your track to the arch,
inspect the areas you have heated to see
if the track has opened or closed at all.
If so, use a heat gun to reheat that small
portion of track and reform it to the
correct opening shape. If you need to
open up the track, slide a piece of keder
welt into the track and work the keder
welt around to achieve the correct
form. If you need to close up the gap,
heat the area and use a protected hand
or a smooth tool to press the track back
into shape.

Finish work
Once the track has been fastened and
properly shaped, it is always a best
practice to run a bead of caulk to seal
the track on the outer side. There are
various caulks that work well, but we
typically use a 3M product.
Although tracking an enclosure can
seem like a daunting task, hopefully
this article has helped you begin
gaining the knowledge and confidence
to add this method to your marine
canvas playbook.
