What Flaws are you seeing most in the Door skins and how does it bother you? Have they had any mishaps with them? Are they stitching them plain, or coating with a good saturation coat of epoxy? I think that is what I will do when I go that route. Cut the pieces out, coat them lightly with epoxy and then stitch together. Just what Glen-L recommends on their small boars, the Rob-Roy and Eight-ball I have built or am building. If there are nay particulay problems popping up, let us know about them. Would help to know what to look out for when using this material.
