supposed to be very strong, waterproof, and LIGHTER than silnylon! I have
searched and searched, but can't find this stuff. I did find a sailcloth
place, which I'm assuming this is some kind of spinnaker cloth, but no where
to purchase it. HELP! Could anyone provide me with some insight? I'm trying
to make an ultralight poncho-tarp.
