: As an alternative, try using heat-shrink dacron with liquid filler. I have
: covered aircraft wings with it for many years, and am covering a
: Skene/Putz 18-1/2 ft "skin" boat with it at the present time.
: The Cecobond process has the cloth, glue, and filler as a system.
: Available from several suppliers on Web. Non-aircraft cloth (seconds) is
: cheaper and OK to use on boats.

i thought most of these coatings came in the 3-4oz range. Are you using anything heavier?

Yes. Putz mentions this in his book *NM*

But I'd stick with more conventional coatings *NM*
