Hi Dave,

It is urethane coated. You can sew it, but the most popular joinery for it is just as you assumed--with heat from a regular household iron. Makes a perfectly tough and waterproof seam.

It is great stuff for making float bags, dry bags, nylon sprayskirts, and cockpit covers.

: Hey Shawn,
: Is this rust colored denier fabric urethane coated? Or could it be used for
: spray skirts?

: I recently completed a storage cover / skirt out of 3mm neoprene. It turned
: out OK I guess, but still had a little bunchieness over the top of the
: coaming. I tried to make a half skirt with the same so so results and not
: convinced that I'll be happy with the end results of a spray skirt. So
: I've been contemplating a nylon / denier skirt which would be easy to sew
: compared to glueing the neoprene.

: I have a double so rolling will not be an issue. The skirt will be used to
: keep rain / hull splashing out of the cockpit. Especially that the fall
: season is around the corner.

: Please share the "heat sealable" aspect of this fabric. Does this
: mean that it seals to itself? The inside coating to itself? With an iron?

: Any recomendations on this rust fabric or other coated products?
: Thanks...DAVE
