Kevlar doesn't wet out clear. So if you want natural wood to clearly show through, it's not for you. Kevlar is good for Army helmuts and all glass boats. As a sheathing cloth forget it. All you're doing is throwing away money. Many people on this bulliten board have old strippers who have sheathed them in regular 6 oz. glass and beat the hell out of them and there all fine.
