If you try to make a cuben fiber tarp, I sure would like to hear the details. Please keep us informed.

I take it back. I saw a second video and it looked like more than I want to get into. If you go to youtube, and search on "cuben fiber tarp", you'll see a 40 minute video on constructing such a tarp. It looks like an incredible material, but it's expensive and it looks like it takes some skill to work with it."

It seems the 3M solvent and glue is the secret to a good tough bond.

You have to work slowly and carefully to make sure you get smooth seams.

Has anyone tried making a cuben fiber tarp? I saw a youtube video on it. It looked fairly easy.

It looks very easy, but I decided not to 'go there' because it is cost prohibitive (for me). If I make a tarp, I'll just want to make a tent and pack and so on. It's about $$$.
