: 8oz polyester from George Dyson - a fine fabric for skinning
: kayaks, stronger and longer lasting than canvas - is $6 per
: yard.
: Email George - GDyson@gmail.com - and he'll also send you a pdf of
: the other fabrics he offers for skinning boats.

: FWIW, I have skinned boats with all of the fabrics mentioned (and
: more), and canvas is the hardest, and my least favorite, to work
: with.

: Good luck!

Alright. After emailing George Dyson and recieving his price list I'm reconsidering yet again. Wow his prices are great! I might be going nylon after all...
