In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: PVC (DanL)

: I am going to buy the PVC to cover my sea tour (winter project) and
: to build an inflatable kayak (sonnet probably). I could choose
: between 16 Oz. PVC (made of _polyester_ core coated both sides
: with vinyl) or 13 Oz. PVC made of _fiberglass_ coated both sides
: with vinyl.
: The 13Oz seams tough enought but less flexible. The 16 Oz looks
: more "gummy".
: Which one is the right one?

On the same topic, while shopping I am finding "vinyl coated" and "vinyl laminated" in the same weights - thought on either?

Thanks.

Tim
