Has anyone considered emulsion for serigraph screen to recoat kite ripstop?
Some of these emulsions are water soluble but, after UV exposion, they turn completely impermeable and not soluble anymore. I don't know about air porosity but, maybe, it worth a try...

just one personal remark : too tight could have side effects ... when it is humid inside (water entires by seams or air inlets for example, it is very hard to dry ! I remember my ex Speed 4 lotus (flysurfer) , it was a pain for weeks to get dry inside ... If you do not have a dedicated area to dry it in your house, it can be a nightmare...
