What's the best way to do an opaque nylon skin on a skin-on-frame kayak? I see a lot of people using 2-part urethane, some over acid dyed nylon, for a translucent tinted effect, but I'm not sure what's best to use to get an opaque skin. I'd like to do a jet black opaque semi-glossy covering using 8.9oz nylon.
Is this as simple as using a tinted polyurethane? Perhaps Varathane "paint"? Does Epifanes or Coelan take tinting? New to this, sorry.
