In Response To: Material: vinyl for Yost boat - confused (wwfloyd)

: In his recent post, here, Dan Mouw linked to 14 oz. clear vinyl coated
: polyester, at Seattlefabrics.com.

: http://www.seattlefabrics.com/vinyl.html#Clear
: %20Vinyl%20Laminated%20Polyester

: The next item down on the page is 18 oz. VCP, in 7 colors. Is VCP (vinyl
: coated polyester) a type of PVC? I note they sell the HH-66 glue for it
: that Tom recommends, and I like the more user-friendly layout of the
: Seattlefabrics site.

: So, I'm confused by Mauritzon, and intrigued by the two Seattlefabrics
: products. Can anyone comment on any or all, and/or alleviate my general
: confusion?

I have the "sample pack" of the Seattle Fabrics VCP and I am 95% sure it is the stuff that Tom recommends... I plan on building a Yost folder at some point in the future and I plan to use one of these two fabrics.
