I was asking some small-aircraft-pilot friends of mine about materials to use for making a skin on frame kayak (one of them is making three stitch&glue boats) and they suggested heavy weight Ceconite (dacron). Would this be good? They also said to stay away from polyurethanes, especially the two part kinds. They suggested the polydope stuff would be fine. Any opinions - or should I try the baidarka list?
