nevermind... I just went ahead and ordered 42 yds. I figure that ought do it.I also bought all the chemicals to bring it up to the "silver" stage. Freakinexpensive! $1600 for fabric and chemicals. probably be another $1000 for colorcoat.... sheeesh!DJ ----- Original Message -----

DJ: I wound up having to order about 5 yds on top of the initial order of 32 yds.But I did the tail group 4 or 5 years earlier and I think I used about 5yds then. I wound up with a small amount left over but had to do my center sectiontwice. So I think about40 to 42 should do you.And Yup. It's quite pricey. Easy to spend $2000 on the cover .Bert ----- Original Message -----

I just remember that I got the "cheap" fabric from AS&S for $3.10 per yard, andused Poly Fiber for the paint process.walt evansNX140DL ----- Original Message -----
