HH-66 is the key ingredient to making your own flotation bags, dry bags and kayak covered in Coverene/PVC fabric. It's the glue that melts/welds the 2 pieces of vinyl together to get a water- and air-tight seal (or, so we hope!).
Back when I made my flotation bags, I bought a pint of HH-66 from Veneer Supplies. It has lasted through 2 or 3 tries at that flotation bag, a pair of flotation bags (which, they too had issues and needed immediate patches) and gluing the stems for Paige's kayak. I have maybe 1/3 of the pint left.
With a limited amount of HH-66 remaining, I wanted to get more on hand for starting the deck. Being cheap, I wanted to get the most for my money! So, I googled for places to buy HH-66. I assembled a list of each of the web sites that sold it. I wanted to try and avoid shipping costs, so I found the manufacturer of HH-66 (RH Products Co.) and contacted them about local retailers. They quickly responded and pointed me to Baltimore Canvas Products.
Baltimore Canvas Products is official the most expensive price per quart that I came across. But, even with tax + gas/mileage - it worked out to be a less total price than any online vendor. And, I like supporting local vendors.
