Subject : Shop-made vinyl bag

I have just completed assembling a 54x100 vinyl bag and wanted to pass along how it went. I found out that its very difficult to glue the vinyl sheets together unless you clean the surfaces to be glued with thinner then use vinyl glue. I first tried polyurethane marine sealant which is used to install deck fittings on boat and is described in the boating community as the "grip of death" sealant but it peeled off very nicely from the new vinyl. A similar thing happened with vinyl glue. Once cleaned with thinner, the vinyl glue just fused the 2 sheets together. To close the open end, I just roll some of it and clamp it under 2 wood strips.Has anybody tried gluing with polyester resin used in fiberglass construction? I figured since it cures in about 15 minutes, I could press many sheets a day. My concerns would be the bleed through. I f this stuff goes through and soaks the veneer tape, I would almost have to grind it off!I also thought that since it does not release/absorb moisture, I could veneer only one side of a piece.

Dear Francois,Fiberglass resin sticks fine to itself but poorly to wood. I dont think you would be happy with the results for veneering. Also, acetone gives the best bite on vinyl for gluing it together.sincerelyDarryl Keil: I have just completed assembling a 54x100 vinyl bag and wanted to pass : along how it went.
