I'm still here. I used the 1.7oz generic dacron from As&S. It was about$3.65 a yard. I used the generic tapes, and poly fiber products to glue itdown. rib stitching was with round cord, not flat.Steve E.-----Original Message-----

Hmmm. That is a harder question. I started the rudder with some leftoversfrom another project and ordered fabric, tapes, and other supplies at leasttwice. I think I ended up using just under 30 yards of 60" fabric. Didn'tkeep track of how much of each size of tape, but 2" was the most common.Rough guess would be 4-5 rolls of 2", 1-2 rolls of 1", 1-2 rolls of 3" and aroll of 4" for the LE. Murphy got the best of me several times supplieswise, when I'd just run out near the end of the job.Steve E.-----Original Message-----
