Tarps are never a good idea over Oltanar / Royalex, even if on a frame. They act like an oven and can separate the layers of ABS. Better just to leave it in full sun I'm presuming the frame would be designed to allow air to circulate under the tarp in which case it's hard to see how the covering could be harmful. My skin sure feels a lot cooler and more comfortable under a tarp when on a hot beach without other source of shade and I'd expect the skin of my canoe or kayak to also stay cooler and UV-protected. |
