| Sources for fabrics at good prices Hi all, I am intending to build a plywood S&G kayak, and would appreciate any contacts for good prices on construction fabrics (fibreglass, kevlar etc.). I am in Australia and our prices here are very high for these materials, I am thinking of buying from the US. I am looking for a supplier who offers good prices as well as sound advice on the right materials for my project. |

| I think our prices are competitive, what have you been quoted? The quantity you require for a kayak is very small and not worth importing. |

| I build kayaks/skis for a living in Australia, and whilst the prices of materials are high they still only end up one quarter of my annual costs , Labour is about one half. So my advice is not to even bother thinking about the material costs (you did mention plywood S&G) which means you only need woven tape and resin doesn't it ? |
