: I'm looking for some info on Dan's Pink Jaguar in how well the
: fabric used for the top is holding up to fading/bleaching out by
: the sun. I love the look of the Jaguar print and want to do
: something similar (maybe not pink) for my SOF. I'm using a nylon
: skin with Corry's goop and will try to saturate the two
: materials together. I've done a few tests with different fabrics
: on the nylon and I seem to get a good seal. My only concern is
: the print/color fading out over time. Any suggestions?

: Thanks

Laminating nylon onto nylon will very likely work fine with epoxy, no idea how Corry's goop would work for that.

Laminating polyester onto nylon though will likely lead to failure as the two materials have very different amounts of stretch under strain, not many (if any) glues can compensate for that.
