Re: [bolger] Plastic film
It's in the fabric department but I'm not sure of the name. It's mentioned
as furniture protection. It cost me $1.99 per yard.

Duckworks Magazine ran an article on it back in August of 03 titled:
A new Technique for Epoxy-Glass
If I could find stiffer plastic film, it would even be easier but that's what's available to me.

In light of the recent
conversations about water
ballast, I just posted
scans of the SBJ#25,
Cartoon #1 "Proposed
Trailer Sailer" which
strikes me as an enlarged
Super Mouse.
http://hallman.org/sbj/25/
This is one of the earlier
uses of water ballast by PCB.
[to my awareness, at least]
July '82, what are the earlier
PCB uses of water ballast?
Pretty cool, and unusual,
sailboat too.

I'm not sure but it's probably 60 or 70 mils thick. I had a Coleman popup tent camper once and it reminds me of the plastic windows it had only more pliable.
It's located in the Fabric department at Wal-Mart and sold as furniture protection. It's on a stand of rollers that includes a couple different versions of the clear plastic as well as some lacy looking plastic sold as table covers. It sold for $1.99 per yard and was 54 inches wide.
