: I would have to believe that it would be cheaper and easier to buy coated,
: waterproof nylon to construct a sprayskirt from. Have you tried camping
: equipment suppliers?

I've already got the nylon, so that's out of the way. I haven't been able to find any local sources for the stuff. 'Local' being here in Canada.

www.justmakieit.com is the best I've found so far, and they have water repellent or water-proof/breathable. I was hoping for waterproof and cheap. LOL

Shipping stuff to Canada is almost always a nightmare unless the stuff is used and marked as such. Otherwise the duties, tarrifs, taxes, brokerage fees etc make it seem cheaper to drill a well and refine your own plastics.

Free trade my ass. LOL
