Wow -- lots to consider. Have to get in to the office, but will digest this tonight. Thanks!

Duck -- I do some website work for a company in town who manufactures tote bags out of several different canvases and polyesters. I've mentioned to the owner before that I might build a skin-on-frame kayak sometime (a skin what??) and would he sell some yards of fabric off the big roll. Have not actually priced it with him yet and compared to Dyson, etc.

Walmart. There is, of course, but only out of the most dire need do I darken their door. An unkempt store, crowded and annoying. Yet I may indeed be hitting them up for the vinyl to make float bags here shortly. I shall go forth in the middle of the night if I do.
