Greetings all. Did my first yurt this past burn, H13, and it worked great. However, after being out there for 20 days, by the time I got it home, the tape holding it together was practically flaking apart. The tape hinges *seem* secure, since they didn't get as much UV exposure, but the outer tape would basically de-laminate... outer layer would pull off leaving a puff of powdered adhesive and most of the fiberglass strands still suck loosely to the board.
My question is, do you think I ought to re-do all of the hinges before next year as well? As i said, they seemed fine as we were unfolding-refolding and washing it down, but I don't want to risk it if others have experience saying I shouldn't. Also, my tape anchors were.... iffy... as well. They had a tendency to pull apart. The tape I was using was this: http://www.goodbuyguys.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/22_200 I realize I was out there a bit longer than most... but it does make me a bit nervous. Secondly.... speaking of the tape residue left on the boards... do you think it's safe to just tape over it? or should I find some kind of solvent to try and remove it? -Andreas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
