The use of industrial fabric and paper is limited only by the imagination and requirements of our customers. We receive a wide variety of inquiries for our products and most often we are able to find a fabric or paper to fit your needs.

One of the most common uses of our filter cloth outside of the field of industrial filtration is in the building of Skin-On-Frame kayaks. Also known as Greenland kayaks, Baidarka or Skinboats, these boats are being built by enthusiasts of all skill levels.

While original construction of Skin-On-Frame kayaks included the use of sealskin, our polyester nylon is a much kinder and more practical alternative! We have many styles available, but the following are the most commonly used. Choosing which style you want to use depends on how your kayak will be used. The heavier 13 oz material will be more durable, but if making your kayak as light as possible is your goal, the 8oz would be the material of choice.Cotton and Polyester are also used by some builders, and we carry a wide variety of these fabrics as well. Nylon is commonly used for its ability to shrink upon drying.

While there is no minimum order required, most builders order 60” widths and the number of yards depends on the length of your kayak, plus one foot. To learn more about building your own Skin-On-Frame kayak, please visit www.qajaqusa.org. Here you will find information, links and a great forum to provide you with support and answers about building and enjoying your kayak. Contact the Museum at Mystic Seaport, Connecticut to learn about attending a class to build your own Skin-On-Frame kayak, 888-9SEAPORT or visit them on the web at www.mysticseaport.org. Mark Starr, the former instructor of the kayak building classes at Mystic Seaport, has written a popular reference book to get you on your way; Building A Greenland Kayak. Please contact the bookstore at Mystic Seaport, or Amazon.com to purchase this excellent guide.
