Mark,
Have you heard of Gacoflex Aliphetic Eurathane? It's expensive ($200), but
extremely durable and it's clear and non-yellowing. I'm very, very pleased
with its durability over 8oz polyester. I don't think twice about landing
on barnacles/mussels/glass rocks etc. If I had used the heavier polyester,
It would be tough to convince me that it was possible to puncture. This
stuff has a slightly soft texture that acts like self-healing paint and
cutting it is like cutting through the furry side of carpet.

Please respond to

How does your neoprene paint hold up, how would you compare it to hypalon
in
terms of application?
