How can I make a hood of a cape smaller?

Post by Peter Haaswijk »

Hello,
I have some PVC rainwear from PVC U Like , which I use to walk in the rain.
They are of a good qulity , but the hoods are too big. :(
If I want to fasten it, it is pulled around my face ,so I cannot see anything.

The hood of a poncho from PVC U Like fitts good, because it is smaller.
How can I make it smaller ?
I tried something with tape , but that does not stick, the plastic is too smooth and gluing destroys the pvc.
Has somebody an idea?
Greetings , Peter

Try this: http://www.bison.nl/static/products/ass ... 3305_2.pdf
it's the best glue for soft plastic.
Over the years I have repaired a lot of plastic rainwear with that glue, it's very good.

Hi, Regenhoedje,

Thank you for your answer.

I will look in the Gamma shop in Katwijk.

Je hoort nog wel van mij hoe het gegaan is.
Groeten ,Peter

That's a useful link - English version
http://www.bison.net/en/products/645-ho ... -adhesive/
Not seen it in the shops but it's on Ebay - search for Bison Vinyl Plastic Adhesive.

Nick and I love meeting other rainwear enthusiasts

Hi, ;)
I have just been back from the shop (@ Regenhoedje :Gamma) , and bought the soft plastic adhesive.
I saw new adhesives , but not the Vinyl adhesive.
Greetings ,
Peter
