: Shawn, will you be posting some close-ups of the finished fabric covered

If any of you are into biking or running, you may have seen jackets and tights made from a fabric called IllumiNite. Although the fabric can be many colors, at night the whole garment reflects light and appears bright white. Might be a good safety feature for kayaking if this were laminated on a kayak blade...
