Seems like, for stability, you could use the thin metal stuff that is used for clean edges on drywall corners in home construction. It's angled and pre-punched with holes that you would lace. it is one piece, so if you had it inside and out, it would make a secure closure.
cheaper and easier than tape, and i would think very easy and at least as secure. of course, then you wouldn't be waterproof / dustproof anymore. ____________________ Personal Pontifications @ Alyssa Royse.com Tiny Tidbits on Twitter @alyssaroyse On May 2, 2011, at 8:03 AM, Richard Ginn wrote: > Any waterproof material laced against the seam might be waterproof enough and > stay in place, doesn't even have to be tape? > > Stacking with raised cleats might work if the edges were staggered inset like > so: > > =----- > =----- > =----- > =----- > > Or drill all the way through and lace up the eyelets just like shoes, with > one person inside and another outside. > > Thanks!
