Mike Woodhouse sells 2 weights:

Standard
25 gms per sq. metre

Reinforced heavyweight
35 gms per sq. metre

Which would be best for our applications?

Tony,
Wish I could tell you, but I have only used Tom Morris' polyester. Don't know what the weight of that is. I can say it feels pretty light handling it. As strong as this stuff is, I might say go with the lighter weight.

Bill, Tony,
Just weighed a piece of Tom Morris's Polyspan on a digital gram scale.
Weight is 25 gm/sq m.

Thanks, Roger!
My thoughts were along withthat, but I didn't wait to say it as truth since I didn't know for sure.

A "little" USA-1 is almost here!
Got a couple projects that HAVE to be finished, so it has beensitting for a while, but covering and finishing are the only steps left.
Now, if I can just get all the sanding and painting on the Monstrous Mustang done, I can move on!

Bill,
Please remind me of your contest date(s).
Might come up to visit an old friend, in Mooresville, who just bought a Saleen Mustang to park next to his "Cherry" 57 Nomad.
GM and FOMOCO in the same garage?????
Heck,have to fill the space somehow.

sounds like a good solution.
