As I am sure several of you know I have become fascinated with SOF boats. I am going to forgo finishing my other S&G and build a SOF soon. Have to finish the Cherry TV console first.
I have read what I can find on skinning materials and I am still undecided what I would like to skin my boat in. I like the idea (at least it sounds good to me) of heat shrink materials, nice smooth skin is appealing. But I don't see it used much in Kayaks. I see other prefer polyesters saying it stretches better. I just read about Ceconite. The more I read the less idea I have about what to use.
I am past the stage of worrying about durability. I guess everyone has to that fear. Abrasion is more of an issue than anything for me but some run strips should fix that.
I was hoping to get some input on what you have used. What you liked, didn't like etc. I think it would good info for us first timers to SOF boats.
