"Robert E A Harvey" wrote in message om... "Franz Heymann" wrote in message ... I am mean that lightweight double-skinned stuff which can be cut with a pocket knife. It has an overall thickness of about 5 or 6 mm. It is translucent, but not transparent. Which urgler would like to report on its usefulness for making "rectangular cloches", or small portable frames? What does one use for gluing two pieces together? Plain single sheet polycarbonate can be bent like steel, and drilled and bolted to make a box or ridgetop shape. the box section stuff would have to be mitred and glued, ordinary contact adhesive might do the job for a while, or specialist stuff like: Evo-Tech TU1908, or Extru-Fix. Or you could make a lightweight wooden frame and screw the polycarbonate to it. All very useful information to bear in mind. I'm not sure about translucent frames being good enough for forcing plants at the start of the year. I may be wrong, but I am under the impression that the translucent material does not necessarily absorb a significant fraction of the incident light, but that it simply scatters it. If I am right, there should be no problem about forcing plants early in the season. Franz |
