I’d like to make a simple rain kilt that can withstand sustained rain for a few hours.
I don’t have access to a sewing machine and don’t know how to use one. I have a needle and thread for small uses like if I wanted to attach a button or something. Because of this, I’m planning on using simple materials: Adhesive Velcro, glue, tape. I’m willing to buy specialized glue and tape.
I’m looking for a material that is lightweight, waterproof, and most importantly bonds well with adhesives.
Right now I’ve got my eye on Tyvek 1056D: https://ripstopbytheroll.com/products/tyvek
I’m seeing reports that this kind of Tyvek isn’t the best for clothing and maybe isn’t very waterproof, however. I also see lots of suggestions for polycro, but I don’t know how it does with glue and tape.
Does anyone have suggestions for material and adhesives? The material should be available in small portions, I’m not trying to get 50 yds for $200.
