Gredemeer,
I did a series of tests of different bonding materials, based on Gnome's attachment method. A search for "cuben tie-outs" should bring it up. There's also a thread called "Cubenist Manifesto" that shows similar tie-outs with low cost materials (poly tarps, wood dowels, and Gorilla tape). There are pictures in both threads. I'm leaving town today, but if you haven't found anything by the time I get back Monday, I'll post more info. My tarp has the same type of tie-outs. It's been in use a couple of years now, with no problems.
Gnome,
I just finished my first cuben hammock, with 18 adjustable cords on each end. I saw that the attachments (larks-heads around an amsteel cord in each end channel) were putting a strain on the cuben, so I added 1" long pieces of 1/8" carbon fiber rod taped at each attachment point. Sound familiar? Works great. Thanks again for the inspiration and info.
