Boat enclosures
After careful measurements,last fall I made an enclosure curtain for Chug from Shelter-rite vinyl and a bunch of zippers all ordered from Sail-rite.Did a little experiment using HH-66 glue fastening a piece of same to some 30 mil clear.No sewing and can't get the two apart.Now I just have to cut big holes in panels and glue in windows.

Re: Boat enclosures
After 1 year of use,zippers are coming a little loose from the sailrite fabric so HH-66 glue is not permanent .Had sewed with ordinary thread also and treated with HH-66 glued but still only held one year.Can't afford sailrite sewing machine so will have to hand sew zippers.

I was able to go through 4 layers of marine vinyl with a standard sewing machine and a "leather" needle. It didn't like it too much, but it was doable.
