I was recently talking to a fellow about the heat shrink dacron and mentioned bias ply weave. He hadn't heard of that, but mentioned a new material that he had heard of that was a tri-weave (?) and is apparently manufactured like a large sock. Any one heard of it? Also what did you and/or Mike pay for your polyester/nylon ? (US$) What sealer are you using? I think Mike is using urethane. Geodesic is using varnish. I've heard of someone using 'Snoseal'.
I was thinking of using clorinated latex/rubber: GP 'Corobite', but it reacts (eats) plastics (urethane?/polyester?). The canvas with dope/sealer added 6# weight over 14', what's your Project X coming in at? Also i've tweaked the bow with concave curves, any thoughts on how to deal with them? Taz. ps. any new pics?
