i have been making a tarp out of cuben, and last week i finally got some more 3m9460 to complete it. all that i had to do is locate and attach my two pullouts/ door retainers ( for the open position). i worked on a peice of 8 X 4 ' plywood. attached , rolled in the bond.......and marveled on the beautiful job of it, i had done! when folding up the tarp , my attention was instantly drawn to the two new pull outs........NUTZ! they were not in the same mirrored location...even though i was using the same centerline mark to measure off of. both were the same hight on the tarp. but one was off set by 1.5inch...had a cup of coffee to calm myself and figured out that i had done. after attaching side one, i flipped the tarp over and without flipping over the farming square over, layed out AND attached patch #2. sure enought the width of the square is 1.5! so my question is can a 1.0cuben patch be peiled off of an .7cuben tarp and be reused? i have quite an assorment of solvents in the garage. think a good solvent will help , or hinder this? what i'm afraid of (besides rodeo clowns and sidewalk cracks) is that when they are used as side pull outs there will be a pronounced stress wrinkle diagonaly from pull out to pull out.
