Hullo there!
Some of us have seen the light here in Northern Europe. Some are buildin
skin-on-frame boats and the others intend to do the same.
But the question arises:
Where to purchase 'artificial sinew', multi-filament waxed thread? Who would
be a reliable supplier in the States?
And 'ballistic nylon' seems to be very hard to come by. No information
whatsoever available from DuPont or Honeywell (no "Allied Signals" any
more). What would be the second-durable solutien? Preferably white
polyester, but from where??
Luckily, we have plenty of wood here!
