I have a few questions for everyone. I've decided to cover withPoly-Fiber and I have the book, video and I've went through the shortcourse at Sun-n-Fun.Here are some questions: Can I use the uncertified 2.7oz Dacron found in Aircraft and Spruce for$3.65 per lineal ft (prt no. 09-00300) instead of the Poly-Fiber Fabricbrand? Seems like I was told by someone at Sun-N-Fun that ALL theDacron was made at one place and the difference was some was inspectedand some wasn't.Can I use the none-certified tapes and cords with this system?And here is one for Doug or Chuck, is there anywhere in southern Kansasto buy covering supplies to get away from hazmat shipping charges?I also have a Volksplane that I'm going to cover at the same time soI'll buy most everything twice, but because of my limited and spottytime to work on the projects, I wanted to by small amounts at a timeinstead of everything I needed at once.Also, what lengths of needles are recommended and is there anything elseto get besides, iron, thermometer, brushes etc?What kind of brushes should I get?GregGridley, KS________________________________________________________________________________

Greg - I have used both Polyfiber's certified dacronand the non-certified kind. I am currently covering myDuce with the non-certified, using all the otherPolyfiber products. I have had no problem with any ofit - dacron seems to be dacron!As to the HazMat charges, it seems that if you arehaving quarts shipped, there is no HazMat charge for upto 4 quarts. Gallons in any quantity have to have thecharge added. So, have the supplier ship 2, 3, or 4quart containers at a time.Good luck, and good covering - it's actually fun!Craig"Greg Yotz" wrote> > > > I have a few questions for everyone.
