Based on the above, we can conclude that this discussion has been decided in favor of nylon, and unless you come up with new substantial data to support your viewpoint, this branch of this thread needs not to be perpetuated ad infinitum.

I don't think you understand how things work 'around here'.

Using the 'royal we' and declaring discussions ended isn't in the spirit of the place, at least as I've seen it after participating for some years.

In the larger boatbuilding community, the idea that there is 'ONE answer' to any question would generally garner a lot of laughs. It's the same here in our little kayak building corner. "Two builders, three opinions" is more true than you might think, in my experience. It makes it all a lot more fun.
