I have next week off and plan to spend it building the F of my SOF. 8) I have been searching the archives but have yet to find a link or mention of a supplier of nylon for the skin. Moore's advises using 12oz, but we have no rock gardens or even rocks on the shores here in Mississippi. Just sand and mud.

That being said, what are suggestions from some of you who have been there re: weight of skin. From what I have read the lighter weight materials are harder to work with.

Also, if you have a link for buying nylon online post it for me. I doubt I can find it locally.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
Thanks in advance.
