Has anyone worked with the AeroSilk and the 8mm Thai silk? I have read that the 8mm will hold up and the AeroSilk can tend to split after a few years. I need to decide on a covering for my Barnstomer and would like to do the clear colored silk but don't want to get stuff that's to heavy or stuff that won't hold up. Plan on a dope finish with death paint top coat.

The 8 mm is too thick for me.  I use the 5.5.

I've used LOTS of 5.5.  The 8 mm is reserved for reinforcing stress areas.
