Yea, I totally agree about doing the sampling. That's why I'm starting this early in the year. And I had also been wondering about the stability of the foil side. Having it rip right off is a reason I didn't think the button snaps would work well. What would be interesting would be to cover the entire surface with white nylon (to preserve reflectivity). Fabric coated triangles that are completely waterproof (possibly using the Ultra Ever Dry mentioned below) could be a bit more durable than just the standard backings provided by the manufacturer.
I had also thought about sandwiching the pieces between thin sheets of plexiglass to add extra strength to the board. Lots of ideas running around in my head. The problem is (as my wife is so kind to point out), they are all way more complicated than they need to be. It would be awesome to create carbon-fibre triangles as they could actually be drilled and hinged. Making it dust and water proof would then become the issue. I'll keep posting here (with pictures when I can) to keep track of my progress. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
