Glue blue poly tarp?
I think the plywood discusssion elsewhere in this group could use a healthy
shot your "insight"! :-) "Brian D" wrote in message news:6FMMa.23388$Xm3.4660@sccrnsc02... That's what I was going to say...if you want all that nice aesthetic appeal of blue tarp, then you can make it even prettier with some nice silver duct tape. Remember, "If the women don't find you handsome, then at least make sure they find you handy." Brian -- - Remove the uppercase NS' characters from my email address "Keith" wrote in message ... There's no glue that will work with polyethylene or polypropylene. I spent a lot of years TRYING to formulate one... I'd be rich if I could. You can heat weld as someone mentioned with an iron, but practice on some scrap first. You CAN make things stick a little better by oxidizing the surface with a torch, but that's probably impractical with a thin tarp. Glenn's tape sounds promising, or just use duct tape on BOTH sides of your seam. Now if you can find tarps made of PVC or Hypalon, you can glue those. -- Keith __ Half of preventing a boating collision is you knowing what you're doing -- the other half is that he knows what you're doing. "Joseph Palazzolo" wrote in message ... I was thinking there might be some type of solvent similar to that used to weld PVC pipe. Joe Palazzolo Done Deal "Glenn Ashmore" wrote in message ... I have had moderate success with double faced tarp tape from Northern Hydraulics. It last about as long as the blue tarps. (Which don't last all that long in the first place.)
