I want to attempt making my own cuben fiber tarp, but would like to glue the seams instead of stitching. What is the best cement for this application? I'm looking at a 4×8 finished size, so I won't need a ridge seam, just the edges. Would cuben tape work just as well? Also, is gosgrain strong enough for the tie outs or is nylon webbing the lightest option I have?
