First little test sewing 1.3 oz silnylon to .7 oz CubenCN2K.08.
Simple single stitched seam between
fabric and also on hem. 3/4 inch ribbon
sewn with 30 stitches in a z tack.
number 69 bonded nylon thread, huge
number 22 needle (for those wondering
about needle perforations).Pulled to failure.

Nov 5, 2010 at 4:26 pm #1661562Yes, I have some lighter cuben to try too.
Will have to be next week.
Got a bit of Hysol and contact cement to add to the mix eventually.
