What do you use to make up the long seam in the blue tube covers? Some sort of glue? Any other tricks in fabricating these?Originally Posted by Alan
Thanks.

Thanks.
Power gear driven thread injectors work just fine for that kind of project.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Here's my tutorial on NoSeeUm skins.

WOW! I don't know what they are, but with a name like "power gear driven thread injectors", I think I want one. What is this?
shhhh...... in clandestine circles it is called a "sewing machine" but "We Don't Sew.... We Make Gear!"

(GROAN)...I wondered why I was getting blank stares a Home Depot...Thanks!Man Talk for: Sewing Machine.
Yep. Others have it right. Used a sewing machine.
I just received the Undercover and hex fly from HH. I decided, after playing around with it in the yard, to use the SS for the tarp only. I figure that way, I can have it bagged and strapped under my pack for deployment and cover before opening everything else.
Thanks to all for your suggestions. I think the next option I'm going to try is the Bishop Bag. Could someone suggest the appropriate stuff sack size; to get all the parts of the SS (primarily the OCF pad, etc) into the bag?
Any tricks on getting it all in and how much the OCF can be compressed (temporarily, until I unpack)?
I assume the skins are left off altogether?
