Marine Vinyl Question

[mickeymark34]

I read on a boot tutorial that the marine vinyl should be “High Quality”. I found some at Hobby Lobby, and was curious to know if theirs is considered high quality or not. I’d like to shoot for Lancer. Thanks in advance for the help.

I picked up my marine vinyl from joannes for $20 a yard. Your probably going to be spending that for the quality stuff. I havent seen habby lobbys stock.

The app for Joann’s said my local store had some available. After driving there, I found they had none.

Here’s some picks of Hobby Lobby’s supply, if it helps.

I had this happen too at Joann's, more than once. There wasn't much to do about it since their system showed it in stock but they couldn't find it. I ended up purchasing vinyl on Amazon and it worked well. Very similar side by side with vinyl others had from Joann's.

Yeah, tylically a person ends up with a lot of excess. I have a whole bunch of suede leather left over from the riding patch and flap.

Im glad you found the stuff though. Honestly just by looking at the material that stuff from hobby lobby didnt look quite as thick as you needed but without feeling it its hard too tell.

I got that feeling too after seeing a picture from a build thread. It’s seemed real flimsy. Thanks for reminding me about the suede, as I will need that too.

I've got some suede I can sell ya if there isn't anyone local that has some. That way your not stuck buying several yards of it when you only need maybe half a yard.

There is a Tandy Leather shop not too far from where I live. Thanks for the offer though.

I got mine from Tandy, that's how I got stuck with several yards and spending $150.

Yikes. Let me figure how much I’d need. Should we PM the details of cost?

Just a heads up I've found suede at the goodwill. Yeah some of those old jackets and stuff from the late 80s early 90s work perfectly. It's also cheap!

I've gone to Tandy twice to get suede.  Each time I got this and it was more than enough:

Thats closer to what your looking for. That split should be fine for you.
