Ther are several reasons why dynel is no longer used to cover composite
aircraft.
1) It is not as strong as you are lead to believe.One layer of boat cloth(6
oz) is far stronger than 1 layer of dynel. You can tear a layer of finished
dynel apart with you hands but you could not do the same with glass. Seeing
is believing.
2)Dynel looks thin but when you apply the epoxy, it suddenly fuzes out like
the hair on a scare cats back, thus requiring much more epoxy to cover it.
This adds unneaded weight.
3)Dynel has a very slippery property. Try sanding the wing of a plane done
in dynel and you will curse it.
However if you want to slide down the asphalt on your belly after the geer
let go then be sure that you put a layer on the bottom of you "boat"
After trying it out I gave away enough dynel to do 2 KRs.
Use glass.
