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.
