: Have you tried this?? Sounds interesting.

: I have made a couple of sets of vinyl float bags and just very
: disappointed. Being as careful as I can I half or more will have
: a small leak. I patch it get them air tight and eventually they
: develop another leak. Some leak very slowly but they still leak.

: I have not done it yet but my next set(s) will be heat seal nylon.

Mine are all (all?...I have two ) NRS, I just swap them from boat to boat.
