I know that some of you guys (the captain for sure) said that you are using vinyl for the Kama...I am getting paid for work this week (I get paid every other week...it sucks) and there are some little things I am planning on starting/getting...One of those is the GM kama... I was searching/looking around on joann.com (jo-ann fabrics site) and found this (casa satin burgundy) www.joann.com/catalog.jhtml?CATID=96037&PRODID=41808at the bottom of the page there is another (casa satin berry)...Is this the same vinyl you guys are using? And which color of the two would you pick? I will see them in person Friday/Saturday, but I am curious to see how your colors look... |

Make sure it's the "marine" vinyl from Jo-anns. That's the color I'm going with. I'm pretty sure there's only one color of maroon in marine vinyl.

I believe it is the burgandy that I bought. The thing is that when I went to the store, they only had one color of vinyl that was even the right color (they had white, black, brown, burgandy, and blue), so I just grabbed the one color they had.

Ianl, what sets marine vinyl apart from another kind? Mine has what looks like an interwoven white backing that I'm guessing gives it it's vinyl stiffness.

It has nothing to do with stiffness but simply the fact that marine vinyl is made for for sea water. It is what they use for boat seats and stuff. It just basically is harder to wear out and is WAY better for water.

I don't know about every Jo-Anns, but mine has a section devoted to marine vinyl. The vinyl has a slight pebbly texture and is tan and gridded on the back.

Marine-quality vinyl holds up far better than other types of vinyl. It's called "marine-quality" because it's just that - it's quality allows it to be used for boat seating and interior paneling. That may not sound like much, but constant abuse from seawater (sometimes saltwater) can errode other stuff more quickly. Plus it stands up to more abbrasive cleaning chemicals better.
