Hey, all, I would like to make a custom-fitted dry bag for my canoe out of PVC/vinyl coated polyester fabric. I know the commercial dry bags are supposedly "welded" so that the seams don't leak, even if the dry bag is submerged.
Does anyone know how they do this? I considered gluing together the seam allowances (on the inside of the bag) using my HH-66 vinyl contact cement, but I'm not sure that would work, since the fabric would still have a row of holes in it from the stitched seam. Do they just paint it over the seam? Or, alternately, do they "tape" the seam with some kind of thin vinyl material, and glue that on?
Thanks in advance for any clues.
