Where to get/buy thin vinyl sheet like gloves are made of?
I think the subject just about says it all! I want to make some
stretchy waterproof covers and the ideal material would seem to be (to me) the thin, stretchy vinyl that gloves are made of. I do want the material pretty thin and lightweight, like the stuff gloves are made of. I want vinyl/pvc rather than 'rubber' because it is much easier to glue successfully in my experience, most of the 'rubbers' are difficult and not as well glued as vinyl/PVC with a solvent weld type glue. However I can't find any suppliers though I have had some 'interesting' results from some of my searches, not suprising really once you mix 'stretch' and 'vinyl'! :-) Any ideas anyone? -- Chris Green · |

Well, most people weld pvc using heat. It is available as sign makers use
it, as do makers of those pouches for sending articles for the blind through the mail. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Actually though he may find that some of the results are a bit niche, pvc
clothing etc, some of the smaller companies can be very helpful where they get supplies as long as they know you are not setting up in competition. the same goes for leather I found out some time ago. I don't think Bin liners are pvc, as they are often too tough. Surely there have to still be bulk plastic suppliers out there. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

Latex is a bit too stretchy I think.

Any ideas anyone? Pond liner material is easily obtained in sheets from various suppliers, a quick gander at some suppliers does suggest though the qualities of stretchiness you are after may be difficult to find with PVC and advise use of EPDM or Butyl where liners have to stretched in a pond to line it tidily. Your worries about glues not withstanding these places do sell adhesives to repair such materials and the joints have to be water tight. G.Harman |

Unfortunately the primer is not the sort of stuff you can keep around, it had a short shelf life and dire warnings not to open it until you were ready to use it as it would go off to a useless gel within 24 hours. |

Cheap shower curtain? Stretchy? Exactly the problem, it's relatively easy to find non-stretchy PVC sheet but stretcy is another matter. It *can* be made because you can get very stretchy PVC gloves but I can't find a source of simple, stretchy sheet. I guess it's because it doesn't find many (any?) uses so no one makes or sells it - pity. -- Chris Green · |

I'd *guess* they are made by the dipping method, I don't think there are any seams. However it doesn't mean it's not possible to produce stretchy sheet, just that it might not be produced. I've seen them made by dipping. Whether there are any sewn sheet ones I don't know for sure, but can only think of downsides to doing them that way NT |
