FS: Cuben Fiber Leftover Material

I’d also sell the stuff in groups as follows:

3. 100″x116″ piece.  2 pieces cut and bonded together intended for a tent fly. $75
4. 190″x full width uncut rolls $100
5. Cuben and cordura laminate $50
6. .5″ and 1.0″ PSA tape. $.15 per foot (full roll increments only)
7. 2.0 PSA tape $.25 per foot (full roll increments only)

I’ve had questions on the laminate nylon/cuben fabric.  There are actually two small pieces of it – I failed to mention one of them in the listing.  They are as follows:

A- 1.1 yard of a mid weight cordura (looks like a 420D ballistic) laminated to cuben backing
B- .7 feet by full width of lightweight nylon fabric (looks like 7D sleeping bag fabric) laminated to cuben backing.

Group 5 – Cordura/Cuben laminate fabric is SOLD

I want to start a project with Cuben. I’ve never sewn with it. Wondering why you pulled out of your project. Came by this forum to ask questions about it. Was there a problem sewing it? Looks like a great deal.

Laurie, I’m not the OP but I’ll tell you that cuben is extremely easy to work with and easy to sew. I was very nervous the first time I pulled the trigger on a yard due to the cost but once I got it and started working with it, I honestly wished I would never have to sew woven materials again. Cuben is just so nice and easy to work with.

I concur that Cuben is very easy to work with.  It doesn’t stretch at all so cuts have to be precise.  I suggest taping vs sewing whenever possible.  There are lots of threads here on this site on how to properly construct a seam that is sewn

way easier than silnylon IMO

I forgot to include photos of the unfinished 142″ x 60″ teepee shaped piece. This is a six sided hexagonal teepee. If you look closely you can see the diagonal seams in the photos below.

Thanks for the answers, you guys. I need to do some exploring around for some videos. The taping sounds interesting. I was wondering if that was what the tape supplies were for, in your sale items. Sewn most of my life and always wanted to make a shelter, and other camping gear. This site was a great little find.

That’s exactly what the PSA tape for sale is for, bonding Cuben to Cuben.  The 2″ is best for ridgelines, while the 1″ @ is good for all other seams.  The .5″ is good for hemming the edges of things.
