In Response To: Re: Skin-on-Frame: how many laters of glass cloth (anewhouse)

Thank you. After this posting, i did more research and even made a test skin on a small frame and came to the same conclusion. I am not looking at ballistic nylon with the 2-part eurothane coating as seen at skinboats.org. My one question is can the eurothane coated skin be painted and if so, what type of paint is recommended. My first idea is to use elastomeric latex paint as it has great eleatic qualities and will stretch a lot.
