Is there a shop around that does truck tarps? This 18 oz vinyl is the same stuff. I got mine locally and the glue in Woodstock NB. I can contact them for you if you wish private message ve9dt2 at gmail dot com. I am not affiliated with them in any way. I enjoyed using the vinyl on two boats, but I am considering Bill Hamm's fiberglass method for the next SOF. In Canada the glue cannot be shipped by mail. It has to go via Common carrier.

: Hi,
: I am in the process of building a Kayak SOF and I am having some
: issues with getting supplies in rural Nova Scotia. The kayak
: will be a non folding sea bee, although I do plan on making a
: folder in the future, a Sea Tour 17 Exp I think would be very
: nice for my intended uses. The places I have to get supplies
: from are Digby Marine, Atlantic Fabrics, Canadian Tire, Home
: Hardware and Rona. My biggest hurtle so far is finding a skin
: and something to seal it with.
: When I went to Atlantic Fabric and asked for an 18 ounce vinyl core
: PVC cloth the lady promptly told me 'We dont sell pluimbing
: supplies', and showed me their rain gear fabrics which didn't
: seem durable enuf, does PVC fabric go by a different name in the
: fabric world? Tom sent me a link to a supplier so if all else
: fails I can order some. I did find a PVC pond liner at Canadian
: Tire, it felt durable enuf, and I think it was made out of a 20
: some ounce PVC, but no other info as to its core material. Can
: it be used as a skin?

: Does HH-66 go by other names? No one at any ofthese stores seemed
: to know what HH-66 was.

: I know I can get Canvas, and Probably Nylon, Vinyl, and Polyester.
: What comon products can be used for sealing? I have been reading
: since writing Tom and have came across a Kayak called a King
: Canvas back that used Spar Varnish as a sealant, as well as
: another that used a plasticized flexible roof sealant paint. Has
: anyone used this before? Did it work well?
: I guess what I am really trying to figure is what comon Harware
: products should I look for and use on my project?

: Thanks for everyones time, I know I am long winded
