Joel,
Lindblom is at Airspeed Press Homepage - Books For Serious Divers
Airspeed Press publishes essential books for serious divers, on nitrox & trimix mixing, SCUBA regulator repair, divelights and more.
www.airspeedpress.com/ - 16k $40 and worth every dollar.
I bought neoprene and a roll of Melco tape from Sweet Composites:
SWEET COMPOSITES -- FRP Materials & Supplies
One-stop source for FRP materials and supplies. Immediate shipment via UPS from our large inventory to boat manufacturers, autobody shops, hobbyists, ...
sweetcomposites.com/
Linblom sez Aquaseal is not adhesive but sealant like Goop but stronger that is Aquaseal remains flexible where adhesive does not. Main disadvantage with Aquaseal, according to Lindblom, is it doesn’t come off easily like Melco tape to replace if necessary. The book testifies it is necessary.
I’ll need to find out how the PB 300 comes off. He missed that one but Lindblom cites a cheaper PB source than OS Systems.
I have a wetsuit project to cut out and tailor, Lindblom put the project into focus 100%.
If one goes down the splash jackets at NRS and compares NRS $$$ for polyurethane W/P/B to DIY Gore-Tex W/P/B !!!
Outdoor wear is like golf clubs: more than one club is necessary to stay warm and happy.
Have you read the photo spread on a custom Greenland kayak atop design or building?
