If I send it to you, want to take a stab at it?
I wouldn’t mind helping you out, just as soon as I get the fuel tank replaced in my boat. Right now my schedule is a bit full. If the canvas is good then get it restitched with Tenara or the alternate thread in one of the replies and you will be good to go for many years. I don’t understand why people scrimp on thread when they spend thousands on canvas and don’t spend a hundred more to get thread that will last the lifetime of the canvas. Canvas fabricators must like the restitching work or else they would advise the customer up front about it. Good luck with the project.
