In Response To: Re: Epoxy: Epoxy on canvas (Paul Probus)

: Tom Yost has recommended using, in other posts, (and I am leaning toward
: using it on my future kayak) PVC coated Polyester fabric, approx. 18 oz.
: Alternatively, I highly recommend going with Paul J's recommendation of
: using uncoated PE and putting your own waterproofing coating on it (I have
: not ruled this one out entirely either).

I've just begun to contemplate building an SOF boat and the skinning is
to me the most intimidating part. If I were to go with PVC coated Polyester,
where would I find it? Do you glue it together or stitch it? If uncoated
polyester I guess the same questions apply, along with What do you coat it
with?
