Sure, you can do it like that, but nylon is tricky, and you'll likely end up with wrinkly skin in cold damp weather, especially if you put it on during the summer months. Nylon works best when its put on wet and cold. Raining and 45 degrees works best, no kidding! This is because nylon is at its most relaxed state when cold and wet. It sort of shrinks if you apply a hot iron to wet nylon, but its doesn't work that well. I'd use poly, unless you already have the nylon, in which case you should skin first thing in the morning while its still cool and damp.
