what kind of covering, ande what other material does it have the look of?

FEATURES: Silk fibers in this paper based covering give it the look of
traditional silk and dope finishes with the lightness of paper
Ideal for kites and gliders where lightness is crucial


Doh indeed, for it IS a paper covering
that has a property of a different covering, namely the LOOK as if it really were SILK (which it is not)

1 Silk + 1 Silkspan does not equal 2 Silks



If you guys are trying to say Silk and Silkspan are synonymous terms, then you are wrong.
If you are trying to say its OK for AMA to consider them synonymous, then you and AMA are wrong.

I dont believe AMA is trying to teach folks to call Silkspan by the name 'Silk',
I think AMA knows the difference, and it was just a simple goof that someone at MA sent that to print,
and I further believe guys here will say whatever it takes to defend everything the AMA says, even if AMA accidentally said up was down.
