: Hi Dave,
: Polyester resin will stick to polyester cloth, at least it sticks
: to nomex, cotton, nylon (to a degree) or any other woven
: material for clothing. :) But it will not be as flexible as
: epoxy.
: It'll likely stick a bit to the frame but not as tenacious as
: epoxy, I've peeled poly resin glass off timber surfaces before
: and chipped drops of it off without much difficulty.

I was going to use some sort of clothing type fabric. I didn't think the flex would be an issue I guess we will have to see.
