I don't know what Dacron or Polyester fabric costs, but Peel Ply costs $4.79 a 63" wide yard. If you use 10 yards for your entire plane, which is doubtful, you are looking at $47.90. If you can possibly save $2 a yard, that is only $20, and by the time you drive all over looking for the right stuff, are you gonna save $5?
I thought that the stuff was documented in the archives as I know that we have had very lengthy discussions about this in the past. So I did a search and found Dacron and Polyester, among others as recommended cloth for this purpose. Then I searched the web, for those materials. The only Dacron that I found was that used for sail cloth and it was $15 per yard. Then I looked for Polyester, and found 56" wide material for $4.25 a yard. That was the discount price on a cloth that they wrote was regularly $8 per yard. You be the judge, I don't see getting anything that works for half the cost of Peel Ply, which is what one of the posts in the archives, claimed.
