Any suggestions in regards to adhering panda plastic to itself? Thinking about buying plastic in 6 mil and cutting it to specific dimensions. I was thinking of a glue bond but didnt know if it adhere well and if it be a problem of a chemical odor as well. I figured I can buy custom zipper to create a door from the panda plastic.

As for the structure I was thinking of using pvc type piping with the proper adapting connecting pieces. I was wanting to create two separate chambers for flowering and veg stages.

I figured for the exhaust and intake outlets I can buy thin sheet metal and cut out the proper diamter and bond two together on both sides of plastic for extra strength and durability in that spot.

Any suggestions or tips would be great.

I was going to keep the grow tent inside a room.

3m spray glue works good just read the direction's I did not and had a few problems.
spray both surface's and let tack up before glue them together

otcha appreciate it. You using panda plastic if so what mil thickness is it 6 or 4?

I didnt know if 6 would be better for purposes of containing heat within.

Yea man i used that 3m super 7 spray adhesive to hang mine on the walls and to itself. If you can theough i think white paint is better and easier. If you have a tent like design obviously whitepain may be out of the question. In that case i would use a rubber cement to attach the panda to itself as the 3m spay adhesive doesnt make the bond so well.

I used the 6 just cause its thicker, less snag's and tear's
yeah the 3m let it tack up for like 5 - 10 min before applying it to each other and you good to go

I like rubber cement... But you have to be quick as the fumes curl the film and make it hard to work with... =]

Either of them STINK so be prepared to ventilate your work area or loose brain cells... =]

Im with moon, I use contact cement and with a 2 inch overlap on the long side panda plastic becomes like a huge sheet, the bond is excellent.

Yea your right I forgot about rubber cement. It only sticks to itself and is easy to clean. I will def try that.

I am def going to go with the 6 mil so it wont rip or tear. it should hold up very well especially with thin sheet metal reinforced where the fan outlets are at.
