Spoke with a manufacturer of the Boat wrap. The reason for only giving a 12 month UV stable ratingis that the welds loose thire protection and start to delaminate.
So far 11.9months intothe durability testing, several patches (thermo welded over burn holes)have delamed. And yet several have held with no sign of separation. The difference appears to be wether or not the plastic got hot enough. Just like torch welding steel there's a fine line between right and melting through. This is only on the skin side . On the in side of the AeroTonto were all of the seams are, things are protected from UV by the mylar on the fome and show no signs of delam. No cracking as with the painted V1.0 did in the thin spots x1
