What is denier when comparing fabric between different boat manufactures?
Denier is “A unit of fineness of a thread weighing one gram for each 9000 meters.” (100 denier is finer than 150 denier thread). The higher the denier the thicker the threads, which makes for a tougher material. How do I lace in the floor on my boat? The ends of the lacing ropes need to be heated enough to stiffen about 3-4 inches of rope for ease of threading the rope through the lacing loops. This can be accomplished by using a butane torch, stove, matches, or a lighter. The ropes should be soaked in soapy water for at least 5 minutes before lacing to reduce friction. The boat should be upside down and inflated to soft pressure, just enough to hold shape. The thwarts can be inflated and placed between the collar to support the floor while lacing. Determine which end of the boat to locate the floor valve (the E series rafts will have the floor valve in the bow) then, center the floor pocket on the partially inflated collar. The starting point for the lacing is optional, but it is para
