Hi Netters.
Larry Flesner asked about the tan colored fabric called dynel.
Ken Rand used it to build his first planes. At first glance it looks good.
It is thin, drapes nice. When you add the liquid epoxy, the fun begins. It
swells and takes a lot of epoxy. One of the characteristics of dynel is that
it is slippery. Try sanding it. It is very abrasion resistant. This might be
a good idea on the bottom of a canoe or pontoon but not on the wings that
you have to sand. It is a cruel curse. It is NOT strong. It is nothing like
glass for strength. Do not use it for the building of aircraft.
I gave mine away to someone that was building a boat.
