foam backed marine vinyl
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can recommend a source for good, relatively thick (about 1/8") foam-backed vinyl? Mail / online order is OK, but if in the Seattle area or Western Washington that's even better ~~ Thanks so much! best, Denise |
Our last boat had that stuff all over the interior. Ultimately the foam
breaks down-- from heat--and the vinyl falls off the surface, and you can't glue it back. Is this what you are faced with? I recommend a closed cell foam material that I think will last a lot longer. I got this from Defenders (this was about 7 years ago, but I assume they still have it) I'm thinking their supplier was some thing like Hough Marine who was in your neck of the woods. Important: Do not use regular contact cement. Get 3M water base contact cement from NAPA or elsewhere. Costs more than double, but goes twice as far. It won't try to dissolve the material or fry your brains. "greenvelvetsofa" wrote in message news:LS8Ie.12627$4e6.4453@trnddc04...

No, actually I need the stuff for a completely non-marine related application (backing for Sixties-style guitar straps - trying to make them as authentic as possible & 1/8" vinyl is what they used back in the day.) Here is an example: http://www.axestraps.com But I was told that that type of vinyl was used for marine purposes so thought I'd ask here! :-) I recommend a closed cell foam material that I think will last a lot longer.

I'll check into that! Thanks so much for the suggestion. It just be just the thing. cheers & gracias ! Denise |

Ohhh
Not that's a turn about. Usually I'm looking for a non-marine product for a marine use ! No, actually I need the stuff for a completely non-marine related application (backing for Sixties-style guitar straps - trying to make them as authentic as possible & 1/8" vinyl is what they used back in the day.)
