| It does not really make too much difference strength/stiffness wise. The satin weave will drape better over rounded shapes. Eric

| Who would be a good source for kevlar samples? I'd like to play with some before trying to lay up an entire hull. |

| Try Composites One: www.compositesone.com. They are a major supplier of composite materials to all fiberglass industries. You will have to pay for it; they don't give them away for free, and that is IF they have any samples or cut-offs from other miscellaneous orders. Then, you can also try Googling "kevlar distributors" and see what you get. Kevlar is a DuPont product, so you may be able to find sources through DuPont. Eric
