Hi Mike,

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

Try this one out for size ... your own inflatable kayak, zodiac, etc.

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

A good solvent joint is as good as a good heat joint. You have to be carefull with the solvent, WAY too much and you could weaken the pvc.

Blue, grape, forest, blue, white, grey, yellow and red.

: Thanks
