In Response To: Re: Material: Diolen Material Properties??? (Marc Upchurch)

My interest was sparked by the number of Diolen kayaks coming on the market - cheaper option than Kevlar; and the fact I saw the fabric is now available retail. Unfortunately, I know nothing about it and it looks like no one here has any hands on experience either! Suspect that the comments regarding better for vacuum bagging are correct. Out of curiousity I've had a brief play with kevlar and hand laying just results in way too much epoxy going in.
