Hi, >From Wayde, "the only thing like this that I've tinkered with is Plasti-dip". I've tried this stuff as an adhesive on a bellows that I built and it worked pretty well, with some provisos. First, it's too thick. I thinned it with turpentine but then it smelled like turpentine forevermore. The smell never did go away, even though it got faint it's still there.
There's another brand of the same kind of stuff but a different formulation, I'm not sure I recall the name -- something like Plasti-Shield? Comes in the same type of container (looks like a tennis ball container tube), same size, but different product from a different company that does the same thing. Maybe you could thin it with Naphtha. But in any event it's flexible, if a bit springy. Maybe I didn't thin it enough. Beware also though that both are real toxic; use outdoors. The fumes'll get ya. If anybody can come up with a source for good, thin, rubberized fabric PLEASE let me know! The blackout cloth is good but too thick for some applications. I love the stuff that cheap Chinese changing bags are made of, they're perfect for bellows, but they're not big enough for a large bellows and I'm sure much more expensive to buy that way; I'd rather buy the fabric by the yard. But where to get it??? --Michael Hendrickson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Cameramakers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmp.opusis.com/mailman/listinfo/cameramakers
