    I only asked because I have never seen or used Oratex. But I have used Solartex. I just streamlined my struts and I used Solartex to cover the fairings. The stuff is just like fabric and once torn it takes some force to keep ripping it. I had to cut it with a razor. I tried to tear off a piece and could not just rip a piece off even after a tear had started.

    If this Oratex is anything like this, I like what I see. If I was recovering an airplane this would be the stuff I would use. Get it in the color you want no painting needed. I wonder how much lighter in weight this is then fabric that has been painted? Or is there any difference in weight?
