Agree... you can't have it all I suppose, everything about kayaking seems to be a trade off in one way or another. Good luck, and look forward to hearing how it works. The clear curing Geocel promises is another check in the plus column... should look great with that printed skin. The nylon itself maybe makes up some of that abrasion resistance trade off, and if one is not landing on rocks or snow-yakking down the driveway, it's probably fine. I suppose too, that one does not need to necessarily bury the fabric in a built up sacrificial coat as long as the fabric is saturated and proofed.
