Default STUPID QUESTION No. 5


A white roll of this for canoe/kayak roof rack covers is in the garage. Trying this with a non toxic glue and a precise edge inking method.

UV Resistant Flagcloth Uncoated Oxford
3.5 oz. per sq yd. UV Resistant 200 Denier. Water repellent finish and superior ultraviolet resistance. The use of high tenacity yarns makes an attractive fabric, while maintaining even dye appearance and good screen printing capabilities.

Uses: Flags, Banners, Jackets, Bags, Tents, Stuff Sacks

Not available in camouflage pattern. Find another supplier or just
use a plastic camouflage tarp:

Incidentally, the camouflage pattern is not to hide your
kayak/recumbent from oportunistic thieves, but rather to hide your
sloppy workmanship from sewing critics. Beware... they're everywhere.

If this is suppose to act as a kayak/recumbent cover while it's on the
vehicle, you're going to need something that is rip-stop and possibly
reinforced. It's almost certain that you're going to snag it on a
tree branch at some point. With un-reinforced or non rip stop weaves,
the "wind" will expand a tear to the full length of the cover.

Also, you'll need a glue that's made for fabric that's not going to
melt in the sun or turn to concrete when cold. Look for "waterproof
fabric glue" or "heat set fabric adhesive".

Common hot melt glue will suffice (barely) as long as it's flexible.
If it dries hard, it will crack, crumble, and fall apart. If all you
want is a waterproof seam, just some rubberized latex or heat set
glue, plus a double or triple needle seam. Plan on wasting some
material learning how to do this. Also, test the glue (after it sets)
in the fridge or deep freeze to see what happens when it gets cold.

AE6KS

the roll here is bright white.

usually Weldwood red on nylon ....eg tent repair https://goo.gl/3BB7m6

for wire ID markers ? the wiring is in the van so not toxic is required. I sleep in van then work with birds in the field at sundown/sunup checking behavior patterns with mobile MiFi USGS Earthquakes real time mapping.

Loctite fabric glue might be relatively non toxic in the very small quantities needed. The stuff at Walmart. Not construction or outback levels... Weldwood red does not come apart, Loctite does separate under pressure...but for a wire marker ?

tried Loctite as a filler around primary wiring...some Pico...running thru nylon tube fluid/air wall fittings finding the Locktite held wiring inplace and sealed out water ...this on pelican boxes sealed with 3M Marine soybean oil. Should work on uncoated flag cloth.

Flags are expensive.

on the yak or abs canoe....for long exposure trips out west where the sun shines...the covering is held on with shock cording n strapping...commercially developed models available.

now find ink .....
