Hypalon Hull Skin on rigid wood frame

Hypalon

Has anyone installed a Hypalon hull skin on a rigid 197X Folbot Super. I have the skin and, since it does not stretch at all, wrinkles are forming as I staple from the center out towards the ends. Also, the skin is not very tight no matter how hard I pull.

Kevlar
Has anyone added a Kevlar hull to the above kayak type. Did it work? What were the difficulties?

Thank you,

stuart
