Hello MYOGs,
I need some help in sources and techniques for taping the seams of some over-mitts I bought on e-bay.
Thanks,
Dave

Aug 25, 2008 at 7:56 am #1448439The seam taping done at the factory uses specialized equipment, but there is an myog equivalent. Quest outfitters sells one, where you iron on the tape to seal the seam. I don't know how well it works, but it could be worth a shot.

seam taping at home works well with a small iron for attaching foil on rc-airplane wings. I´ve done a lot of seamtaping with Gore-material with such an iron and 3-ply seamtape from Bemis (which is exactly the same as used by all big companies).
More infos can be found here: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/xdpy/forum_thread/10511/
best regards
David
