OK, tht's the stuff. Some has the polyester core between the two vinyl
layers, set on bias and is perhaps better for covering kayaks.
Some has a matt surface which I appreciate for its texture and
appearance better than glossy.

As for glue, there has been much debate and Hendrik published a good
recipe and "code of practice" for glueing, which is in the archives, but
for the sake of the same, tell us more about this particular glue.

Thanks, Stefano
