In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Waterproof skin for Kayak (Jeff)

I'd recommend the light weight Dacron fabric used to cover aircraft, Aircraft Spruce sells uncertified fabric for experimental aircraft that'll work fine and is easy to heat shrink. It's very tight weave so it's easy to finish.

I'll try to find the listing for it, I buy it in fairly large rolls so don't buy often.
