I must thank Bill for raising this thread. He knows only too well that I am very remiss at utilzing the forum! Thank you also to all those that responded. Having recently come across some old swatch samples I had (1996) from Woolies I think I had come to the conclusion that their 'Everflex' was as good a bet as any. (The price then was £16.41/ mtr!) I do have a couple of queries - an acquaintance suggetsted to me hessian as an underlay, but perhaps too coarse and hard. Any reason why one should not varnish the ply prior to covering it, as an extra protection of the ply.
As a footnote - Wikipedia has a description of Rexine, and there is a company, Rexine ltd., registered at Companies House, but it is obviously a shell, a couple of Directors and £100 capital. I imagine it is someone holding onto the name.
PS Bill is being kind to my project referring to it as a GE Cup. A more accurate designation woud be 'Special, GE Cup type body'
