Doug,

I am not sure if you are in Vancouver, BC, Canada, or in the US. I received a reply today, about PVC and HH-66, on another building forum, and the poster mentioned a source in Langley.

Kelly;
i talked with Industrial plastics in Langley about vinyl glue. if they can't get HH-66 they say they will have something equal.
they do carry a truck tarp material similar to the "Coverlite" used by Yost.

: Any suggestions on what type of PVC or where to get PVC for float bags? I
: know that on Tom's website he gives links for Coverlight PVC. Coverlight
: is quite expensive to get in Vancouver, the retailer has to charge minimum
: amounts or shipping or something like that (it was a year ago that I spoke
: with them). Do stores like Home Depot or similar sell some type of generic
: PVC cloth?

: thanks
: Doug (not the Doug S that started this thread!)
