This is going to be about dumbest question ever, but does anyone know what side faces out on Sunbrella material. I bought Blue to mKE Hatch covers and one side seems to be like a waxy surface and the other side seems like a regular material. I told you it was dumb.http://forums.hunter.sailboatowners.com/images/smilies/advanced/cry.gif

Here you go: http://canvas-fabrics.com/Sunbrella-Plus/index.htm .
I have never used the "Plus". My bimini project, for example, is standard Sunbrella. It has never leaked. But I guess "Plus" is better.

I've used some of the Sumbrella products and don't recall a difference between one side and the other. I also pre-wash all my cloth in very hot to reduce shrinkage of the finished project, so I may have washed it off.
As a general sewing rule; the slick or bright side of the fabric goes out. Any added protection to the cloth (mildew, water proofing, fire retardant, etc. ) would work best if facing out as well.
Reading Ed's link, Sumbrella recommends that side down.
I guess your question isn't so dumb after all.

The stuff I bought has 2 sides one looks normal with a little shine the other looks like it was waxed. I think after much discussion the wax side is in. I am trying to make a hatch cover for a Hunter 23. What fun!!
Thanks for everyones help!
