In Response To: Making your drybags *Pic* (Matthew Bastian)

: I made some drybags and thought I would share with you folks how I made them.

: Let me know what you think?

Hey Matthew

fantastic, thanks for the instructions. Great process on attaching the bottom. Many trade names for the buckles, but the most common is 'Fastex'.

Immediately got me thinking about all sorts of other ideas. Like Paddle floats, Foldable Yaks.

What is the relative strength of a solvent glued joint vs a heatwelded joint. Does the fabric come in different colors?

Thanks
