I used it for foam/foil to 500D and 1000D cordura (about 3" wide overlap), and on its third year some 1000D seams did become brittle and separated under stress. 500D cordura connections are still going strong, so it's possible that 1000D stuff is overkill in this application :)
In a related story, I don't see local (SF Bay Area) Walmarts and Home Depot carrying this anymore (only the green water based stuff)... Where do we get it these days? Thank you, guys!
