Without getting into complex scientific reasons, what is considered
the advantage to the Nylon cloth?  The cotton cloth usually takes many
decades to fail or rot; usually it is the coating that fails first.
If one could glue it with hide glue, I wouldn't ask this as replacing
it later would be the same as replacing the "normal" stuff.

So before I consider dooming my wood parts with modern non-reversible
glues, what's the opinion of this group?  I am reluctant to change,
especially after the Perflex disasters.
