Skin-on-Frame: Vinyl/materials suppliers in Melbourne, Aust

Hi,

I am sure someone here has discussed suppliers in Australia for SOF kayaks before, but I can't find the post.

I am about to start a Yost SOF wood-frame kayak and want to get it done before Easter for a trip to our alpine lakes (Jindabyne for any locals).

I'm not sure where to shop or what to ask for for the skin (& glue). Is it just 'standard' vinyl from somewhere like Clark Rubber or a hardware store? Or something specific? And what sort of vinyl cement is recommended?

Thanks - sorry for the 'basic' questions..I've done some searches on suppliers but need to know what to ask for.

Regards,
Darren
