: I built a whitewater stripper racing canoe, using 3/16" cedar strips and
: sheathed inside and out with 4 oz polypropelene cloth and epoxy. Polypro
: is stronger and more flexible than fiberglass. My boat once got wrapped
: around a rock until the bottom was above the gunwhale, but I was able to
: pop it back in shape and paddle home. But polypro is difficult to work
: with as it can float in the epoxy and fuzzes when sanded so it may not be
: the choice for you. I'm not sure if it is still available.

hi tom

how did the polypro wet out to show the wood? what did you have to do to repair it? any comments would be interesting.

and has anyone used syntex? looks like it wets out almost good as glass and yet get the properties of a synthetic. any locations for heavier than 2 oz??
