when I ordered my Pygmy Coho the glass was shipped all folded up & looked terrible. I found that if you lay the cloth out on the hull and let it 'rest' for about 24 hours it tends to relax, and many of the wrinkles and weave irregularities can be worked out. That having been said, I visited Raka to pick up cloth for my deck rather than piece it together Pygmy fashion. The rolled Raka cloth went on much easier than the folded cloth provided by Pygmy. The Raka people are nice folks. If you get brave, they stock a pretty wide variety of exotic cloth types.
