DIY DSMB material
Does anyone know where to get material (i.e. the canvas) to make a DIY DSMB?
I shall be deploying the DMSB off of a large McMahon reel.

Obviously this is not a serious project but more of a personal DIY challenge before you all tell me how foolish it is. I've had a search around and can't find anything on the site anywhere.

Thanks

You want polyurethane coated nylon- that's what most are made from. The tricky part will be getting it to stick together- PU is a bugger to glue.

I can think of better DIY projects.

It's not foolish as long as you make 'novelty'-shaped DSMBs

Isn't it usually heat sealed? Also some companies that make canvas awnings etc use ultrasonic welding.

We use a electric seam weding machine on our SMB's to seal them together

As above, some novelty DSMBs. A late night conversation was very imaginative. If I provide plans can you quote me a price and make it? Also can you get various colours of material?

I will see whet we can do on this with regarding colours what are you looking at, as i do not want to purchase a whole roll just for a small bit,

We have in stock RED, YELLOW OR HI VIZ YELLOW (sames as the jackets the work men wear)

I love the snowman but our thoughts weren't quite so pure

I think that our current ideas call for red or pink, purple and white. I take it that a roll is massive.

I'm sure that most of the perverts on this site - yes, there are a couple - have realised what the red/pink and purple are for already.
