Polyester is great
In Response To: Re: Skin-on-Frame: skin went slack?? (Kudzu)
I used polyester on the SOF I built and it is very tough, no problem sewing and very abrasion resistant. If you want , I'll send you a sample. The great thing, is that it doesn't loosen up when wet. People are in love with the words "ballistic nylon" and never think beyond those words. i contacted Bil Lowe (willow kayaks) who makes SOF's and produces several a month and he did extensive research on skins. He uses Poly exclusively and could not sell a commercial product where the skin gets loose.
Pass it along to your children and grandchildren. Nylon bad - Polyester good.
