I don't have full info on Mike Henderson's panel cutting technique, but he says that he did them by hand having created a guide ahead of time-- he said it took 20 minutes to make-- but have no idea what it looked like (a cut sheet of 4x8 plywood perhaps? Something less wasteful?)
Soon he will take me on a tour of his hexayurt techniques. About later posts (different tapes, foam panels, adhesives, etc): I'm thrilled with the amount of knowledge in this group! My online search is not coming up with bituthene tape, but it sounds like it's relatively standard hardware stuff. Perhaps I'll have to try that in the desert this year (gulp!) After testing it in the sun for a few weeks at home.
