Is the skin shot too? Now's the time to replace it if so- I don't think
any coatings are strong enough to make a trashed skin good again. As for
the coating, I'd have to lean towards hypalon based on cost. Check the
archives for a Canadian source- I believe it's cheaper in Canada than
Gaco Western in the US. Everybody has their own preference though so
you're likely to get lots of different responses. USE A GOOD RESPIRATOR.
