So i was contacted about a board repair. the customer wants the deck ding repaired with volan cloth to match the board. I have none on hand, have never used it, and contact my supplier who tells me volan cloth is illegal to manufacture i the US. According to him, other (legal) cloth finishes (he mentioned silene) approximate the greenish tint and that boards made recently and advertised as having volan cloth are either:
a) glassed with actual volan cloth imported from China or;
b) glassed with cloth made in the US with some other finishing spray that gives the board the greenish tint
Anybody know whats up?
