How about your local Salvation Army and get an old used inflatable raft, cut it up and reglue it to the shape you want It come s with the valve attached. Just a thought.

: Hi All

: O.K., I gave up on the used swimming pool search and am now actively
: searching for the vinyl ( swimming pool ) material to make my floatation
: bags for my Walrus. Seems like someone mentioned Seattle Fabrics at one
: time, but thought there were more places. Need a couple of yards of vinyl,
: some tubes, glue and valves. Any sources?? Anyone make any bags in this
: fassion? I want to fill a large part of the front and rear compartments of
: my Wally with the bags and that's a lot of territory. Not interested in
: any sort of storage as it's basically going to be a day tripper and fun
: boat. I've got the deck beams all done and am working on getting some
: 1/8" Poplar Bending Plywood for the cockpit rim and coaming, but in
: the mean time, want to get some of the little stuff done. Thanks in
: Advance!! :)
