I am considering to replace the top surface of our glider cover with
TYVEK-RV. I am thinking to leave the white side out. Our current
covers really have discolored to brown and the skins have shrunk some.

Anyone have some TYVEK-experience when used as glider covers. I am
specifically worried about any interaction between the wing gel-coat
and the TYVEK, in the rain, in the sunshine and in the wind.
Thanks for any information and suggestions.

Heinz: I have been researching Tyvek lately. It has a PH of 7,
therefore is chemically neutral. Tyvek soft cloth is water resistant,
blocks 98# of UV, is non abrasive, reflective and lowers the
temperature of what is covering more than any other fabric. It
breathes and will evaporate any moisture trapped under it. One of the
versions is coated by aluminum on one side and lowers the temperature
further than the white cloth. Let me know if I may help further.
