: Ah, PVC inquiry #2,643,201.
Yah... I figured I could find posts regarding this but surprisingly did not.
: Too limp. Too heavy, can't be glued,
What then is the pvc glue available next to the pvc? Is it not strong enough?
: won't hold fasteners
What fasteners?
: Aluminum tubing is expensive? Have you ever priced a Klepper or
: equivalent? A homebuilt folder is as steal by comparison.
I don't price the real thing... I just know what my budget is. In reality, the wife has already shot this one down, but maybe if I convince her is cheap and foldable, it might get somewhere. Just wondering if this idea should be left alone of if it has possiblity.
thanks for the post,
Scott
