: Thanks! I called the manufacturer, who indicated that you could
: "probably" use bleach on the white fabric if it stained. It's
: designed to resist corrosion from acid, etc.

: The problem with the Sonnet is you're practically rebuilding the whole boat
: if you want to replace your hull. I may stick with black this time
: around...

Sonnet can't be painted or it can't be folded. The stains, urethanes, paints etc. that people use on conventional SOF's only work on rigid kayaks that don't fold. On folders like the Sonnet, you need to use the fabric that Tom recommends.
