Twintex

Does anyone have any experience with or comments about the use of vaccuum formed twintex as a hull material.

Just a few comments: new product. Vetrotex is a major french company of glass cloth (and other fibers).
The twintex is for industrial use as it requires hot molding. The polypropilene when fused acts as the resin (matrix) in a common composite.
Definitely not for a small shipyard.
