In that case, consider me anxiously awaiting your review. Well, not anxiously... I'll probably be picking the lumber for the frame up 'bout the same time you're trying it. I've got time to kill before I settle on a covering. This waiting is killing me.
I keep reading suggestions that us newbies not be too concerned with what type of coating to go with... something to do with wanting/needing to recover it after making modifications to the frame as time and our experiences/preferences flesh out. So if it doesn't prove to be sustainable over a good length of time... I won't cry.
: Other than whatever they use to cover rubber inflatables
: (hypalon?), this is the toughest thing I've ever seen on fabric,
: that also still retains its flexibility. Nylon certainly has
: more flexibility than polyester, of course, and the long term
: suitability of the PL is still an unknown. I should be trying it
: on a boat in a few weeks . . . .
